520 _aReveals surprising new dimensions of Galt’s short novels Glenfell, Andrew of Padua, and The OmenReproduces the texts of Glenfell (1820), Andrew of Padua (1820), and The Omen (1825), making these virtually unknown works available to modern readers while setting them into the context in which they were first published and readProvides a comprehensive introduction by the editor which reveals how these novels came to be written, their contemporary reception, and their significance within Galt’s life and careerOffers full annotations which explain Galt’s diverse geographical, historical, literary, and philosophical contexts and allusionsThis volume brings together three short novels that reveal the diversity of Galt’s creative abilities. Glenfell is his first publication in the style of Scottish fiction for which he would become best known; Andrew of Padua, the Improvisatore is a unique synthesis of his experiences with theatre, educational writing, and travel; The Omen is a haunting gothic tale. With their easily readable scope and their vivid themes, each of the tales has a distinct charm. They cast light on significant phases of Galt’s career as a writer and reveal his versatility in experimenting with themes, genres, and styles.
