Synopsis "Three Short Novels: Glenfell, Andrew of Padua, the Improvisatore and the Omen"
Reveals surprising new dimensions of Galt's short novels Glenfell, Andrew of Padua, and The Omen Reproduces 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 read Provides 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 career Offers full annotations which explain Galt's diverse geographical, historical, literary, and philosophical contexts and allusions This 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.
