There've been Phantastes and Lilith threads up before, anon, if in 4chin terms constitutes the deep past (3 yrs +). Bloom of course was a big fan, and even I've read the former but it's been awhile.

Loved reading Lilith. Picked it up out of boredom and later learned who George MacDonald is.
He has been discussed sometimes but /lit/ is no longer about literature. It's just desperate anons trying to prove themselves right. We need a board for philosophy and religion desu.
