Lilith

by George MacDonald

Overview

Scottish author George MacDonald wrote the fantasy novel Lilith, first published in 1895. MacDonald employed the

character of Lilith in service to a spiritual drama about sin and redemption, in which Lilith finds a hard-won

salvation. Many of the traditional characteristics of Lilith mythology are present in the author's depiction:

Long dark hair, pale skin, a hatred and fear of children and babies, and an obsession with gazing at herself in a

mirror. MacDonald's Lilith also has vampiric qualities: She bites people and sucks their blood for sustenance.

A biography about MacDonald and other annotated notes are also included in this book.
