      George MacDonald
      George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish preacher and teacher as well as an author of 30 novels, numerous fairy tales, poetry, essays, and sermons. He was one of the most original of nineteenth century thinkers. MacDonald's writing and lecturing brought him great recognition and introduced him into the company of many of the leading Victorians of the time. His friends included many of the English pre-Raphaelites, social reformers such as Octavia Hill, radical churchmen such as F.D. Maurice, and, across the Atlantic, Emerson, Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Mark Twain. MacDonald's writing has outstanding imaginative power, largely influenced by the German and English Romantics. Through his visionary theology, MacDonald has made his greatest contributions in the realms of fantasy and children's literature. His fairy tales for children and his two fantasies for adults are his best literary achievements. At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and The Goblin and The Princess and Curdie have found a permanent place on children's bookshelves. A number of writers of children's literature refer to him as the greatest writer of fantasy for children. George MacDonald's Phantastes is recognized as a classic of adult fantasy writing. It was Phantastes which C.S. Lewis read as a teenager that initiated his extraordinary imagination. Other well known authors besides Lewis who have been influenced by MacDonald include G.K. Chesterton, W.H. Auden, and Madeleine L'Engle.

Power Line News Forum About Us Print ... Main January 4, 2008 George MacDonald Fraser, RIP George MacDonald Fraser was preeminently the author of the series of twelve historical novels featuring the Victorian blackguard Harry Flashman. Fraser plucked Flashman from the pages of Tom Brown's Schooldays where he is the bully who is expelled after he is found in a drunken stupor. Fraser pretended to be the editor of a massive body of recently discovered papers recounting Flashman's martial and amatory exploits from the late 1830's to the early years of the twentieth century. The Flashman papers were supposedly hidden in a tea chest in 1915 by Flashman's ashamed family where, in an astounding variation of the Boswell papers , they laid undiscovered for 50 years. Beginning with Flashman in 1969, Fraser presented himself as the editor of the Flashman papers, turning his meticulous historical research into a series of very funny comic novels of monumental politcal incorrectness.
Fraser died this week at the age of 82. The Telegraph obituary tells the story of the Flashman novels. In a companion piece, Harry Mount explains that

    OBITUARY
    By Margalit Fox Published: January 3, 2008 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size George MacDonald Fraser, a British writer whose popular novels about the arch-rogue Harry Flashman followed their hero as he galloped, swashbuckled, drank and womanized his way through many of the signal events of the 19th century, died Wednesday on the Isle of Man. He was 82 and had made his home there in recent years. The cause was cancer, said Vivienne Schuster, his British literary agent. Over nearly four decades, Fraser produced a dozen rollicking picaresques centering on Flashman. The novels purport to be installments in a multivolume "memoir," known collectively as the Flashman Papers, in which the hero details his prodigious exploits in battle, with the bottle, and in bed. In the process, Fraser cheerfully punctured the enduring ideal of a long-vanished era in which men were men, tea was strong and the sun never set on the British Empire. The Flashman Papers include, among other titles, "Flashman" (World Publishing, 1969); "Flashman in the Great Game" (Knopf, 1975); and, most recently, "Flashman on the March" (Knopf, 2005).

Mark Twain and George MacDonald: The Salty and the Sweet
The connection between Mark Twain and George MacDonald evidently began in 1870, the year when 35-year-old Twain married the woman he adored, Olivia Langdon. The newlyweds were soon reading MacDonald's latest novel, Robert Falconer : and Twain reacted with great gusto and disgust. In a letter to their friend Mary Mason Fairbanks, who had probably recommended the book or given it to them, he spoke his mind on September 2, 1870.

    [Robert was a young Scot with a heart of golda forerunner of Gibbie, who would be invented later.] "I guess we hated his grandmother from the first. The author was always telling of us her goodness, but seldom letting us see any of it. [At this point Livy added a note: "I did not. I liked her all the time, her heart was all right, and what was wrong came of her education."] "Shargar was the only character in the book who was always [Livy inserted "thats not correct."]

George MacDonald Fraser: Appreciation
By Dave Nalle Flashman Musketeer movies. Fraser had a sly wit and a great sense for personality. Of his contemporaries only Tom Stoppard exceeded him in putting clever words in the mouths of memorable characters. Fraser was also a consummate historian. Even when he was turning history on its ear he always maintained the integrity of the historical events he wrote about and even provided extensive footnotes to point the reader towards other interesting sidelines of history worth exploring.

  • The Elegant Variation is "Fowler’s (1926, 1965) term for the inept writer’s overstrained efforts at freshness or vividness of expression. Prose guilty of elegant variation calls attention to itself and doesn’t permit its ideas to seem naturally clear. It typically seeks fancy new words for familiar things, and it scrambles for synonyms in order to avoid at all costs repeating a word, even though repetition might be the natural, normal thing to do: The audience had a certain bovine placidity, instead of The audience was as placid as cows. Elegant variation is often the rock, and a stereotype, a clich©, or a tired metaphor the hard place between which inexperienced or foolish writers come to grief. The familiar middle ground in treating these homely topics is almost always the safest. In untrained or unrestrained hands, a thesaurus can be dangerous."

Technorati Author George MacDonald Fraser Dies I've never heard of the Flashman series of novels by George MacDonald Fraser, but the description that has accompanied his obituary today has my curiosity sparked: He wrote the first novel of the Flashman Papers in 1969 after he quit as assistant editor of the Glasgow Herald The book imagines what happened after Flashman the bully in Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's Schooldays was expelled from Rugby for drunkenness. Eleven more novels were to follow in the series, during which Flashman the most lily-livered hero in Victorian England - fornicates and brawls his way round the empire, provides Abraham Lincoln with his "you can't fool all the people all the time" quotation, and accidentally starts the charge of the Light Brigade. books link Make a Comment on This Entry Comments The Flashman novels, and pretty much everything Fraser has ever written, are absolutely amazing. Thoroughly entertaining in every way. Flashman goes everywhere, does everything, and meets everybody. They're very well done, a joy to read and reread.

George MacDonald Fraser, 1925 - 2008
I'm not sure Harry Hutton catches the genius of the man with his obituary , and the Telegraph's isn't up yet so I'll have to do my best.
He will be chiefly remembered for the Glorious romp through the Victorian age which was the Flashman novels. 12 of 'em, which had the bewhiskered anti-hero shagging his bawdy way round the empire. Though he was a coward, flashman looked the part and managed to get covered in glory at each juncture. Like some commentators, I thought the first book , given to me by a friend at 13 was a real document. It inspired me to read " the Signal Catastrophe " and I was most put out to find no mention of a "Harry Flashman, VC". I then researched the Victoria Cross and, finding no reference to him there, or the Army list, at last, as I was half way into the second book did I realise that it was a beautifully researched and hilarious work of fiction. Like Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey Maturin cycle of novels , they are based on a real historical figure , though Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton KCMG FCRS would not be flattered by the comparison to the arch cad and womaniser. Though he gets a short cameo in "

      • UK By Rosie Walker Thursday, 3 January 2008 The novelist George MacDonald Fraser, author of the popular Flashman series of adventure stories, has died after a long battle against cancer. The 82-year-old former soldier worked as a journalist for The Herald newspaper, then known as The Glasgow Herald, for many years. He also wrote screenplays and a memoir of his experiences as an infantryman in the Burma campaign, but it is for his semi-historical novels based around Sir Harry Flashman that MacDonald Fraser will be best remembered. The Flashman series is based on the bully character of Thomas Hughes' Victorian classic Tom Brown's Schooldays grown up and serving as an officer in the Army, fighting, drinking and womanising his way around the British Empire.

Links to this article By Matt Schudel Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, January 4, 2008; Page B07 George MacDonald Fraser, whose tales about an unscrupulous Victorian scoundrel, Sir Harry Flashman, chronicled the misadventures of one of the most memorable characters of modern British fiction, died Jan. 2 of cancer at his home on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. He was 82. After working for years as a journalist, Mr. Fraser published his first novel about Flashman in 1969, passing it off as the newly discovered memoirs of a 19th-century coward, Lothario and soldier of misfortune. Flashman appeared in a dozen novels over the years, inadvertently landing at the center of almost every major military campaign of the Victorian age, from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Indian Mutiny, the Charge of the Light Brigade, the siege of Khartoum, the Mexican Revolution and the Battle of Little Big Horn.
