Book Synopsis
John Galt (17791839) was a contemporary of Sir Walter Scott and Jane Austen, and afriend and biographer of Lord Byron. Although a prolific writer, and much admired inhis own lifetime, Galt has never achieved comparable levels of literary fame, and hisworks poised between Enlightenment and Romanticism are now often overlooked.Yet his reputation has been slowly growing, and he has attracted critical interest as botha political novelist and a chronicler of Scottish life. This INTERNATIONALCOMPANION builds on a steady stream of recent scholarship, and examines Galt'swritings in the social, economic, and religious contexts of their time.
