Delphi Collected Works of John Galt (Illustrated)

Delphi Collected Works of John Galt (Illustrated) Synopsis

The Scottish author John Galt achieved instant fame with his 1821 novel 'Annals of the Parish', winning him the distinction of being the first novelist to deal with issues of the Industrial Revolution. A close friend of Lord Byron, Galt wrote novels that are memorable for their endearing depiction of Scottish rural life, tinged with ironic humour and reminiscent of his contemporary Sir Walter Scott. Galt is also notable as a political and social commentator, as exemplified by his later novel 'The Member', for which he has been called the first political novelist of the English language.
