Book Description
John Galt was born in 1779 and, like his contemporary Walter Scott, was heavily influenced by the ideals and aspirations of the Scottish Enlightenment. His contributions to literature range from poetry and plays to travel books, biographies and journalism, but he is best known as a novelist - the creator of Ringan Gilhaize, The Provost, and The Entail. In his descriptions of everyday domestic life, shrewd observations of character, pungent dialogue in Scots and ironic self-revelation, Galt was continuously entertaining and often comic, but he was not afraid of pathos. In this study P H Scott concentrates on his thirteen most famous novels for it is on these that Galt's claim to be regarded as an important writer must rest.

Book Description
John Galt twice wrote the story of Herman, first as a play and then as a fairytale, first as poetry and then as prose, telling of a scholar who sold his soul in exchange for love. Both versions are available here together for the first time, a unique opportunity to explore a story so captivating that its author couldn't tell it just the once. The edition is edited by David J. Knight, the General Editor of Vocamus Editions, with a foreword by Ian McGhee, Secretary of the John Galt Society, and with John Galt's own preface to ""The German's Tale.""
