The International Companion to John Galt, Paperback / softback Book

The International Companion to John Galt Paperback / softback

Edited by Gerard Carruthers, Colin Kidd

Part of the International Companions to Scottish Literature series

Paperback / softback

Description

John Galt (1779-1839) was a contemporary of Sir Walter Scott and Jane Austen, and a friend and biographer of Lord Byron.

Although a prolific writer, and much admired in his own lifetime, Galt has never achieved comparable levels of literary fame, and his works - poised between Enlightenment and Romanticism - are now often overlooked.

Yet his reputation has been slowly growing, and he has attracted critical interest as both a political novelist and a chronicler of Scottish life.

This INTERNATIONAL COMPANION builds on a steady stream of recent scholarship, and examines Galt's writings in the social, economic, and religious contexts of their time.
