The first complete scholarly edition of Galt’s short fiction and essays on transatlantic themes, including never before published manuscript texts.
John Galt spent less than three years on the American continent, but his attention was directed toward it his entire life. In fictional tales about emigrants, settlers and Indigenous peoples, and in essays about colonisation, trade, slavery and emancipation, he addressed the past, present and future of transatlantic relationships. By collecting and contextualising all of his short tales alongside his non-fiction essays about North America and the Caribbean, this volume presents a more expansive and complete picture than ever before of Galt?s transatlantic engagements. It includes writings that circulated widely in the nineteenth century but have since been lost from view, as well as new stories from his extant manuscripts that are published here for the first time.
