Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This article analyzes George MacDonald’s realist novels. It looks at how <em>David Elginbrod</em>, <em>Alec Forbes of Howglen</em>, and <em>Lilith </em>engage with scientific discourse and epistemological concerns of the period. These scientific and epistemological dealings include a positive evaluation of evolution, a resistance to pseudoscience and Calvinism, an endorsement of non-dualism, and an analysis of scientific models and methods. The generic classification of <em>Lilith </em>as a realist novel with fantastical elements is discussed.</p>
