Within and Without: A Dramatic Poem is a 1855 poetic play by Scottish author George MacDonald. Written in various forms of meter, including iambic pentameter and anapestic tetrameter, the piece explores themes and ideas that were innovative for its time. George MacDonald was a pioneering figure in fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have had a significant influence on many notable authors, shaping the literary landscape of his era. First published in 1855, this work is prefaced with a dedicatory poem addressed to MacDonald's wife, Louisa Powell MacDonald. The book remains an important part of MacDonald's oeuvre and continues to be studied by scholars today.
