Galt’s tragi-comic novel of conflicted desires presented in historical, legal, and local contexts.
Largely self-taught, the American artist Benjamin West (1738–1820) became a history painter for George III and a founder and president of the Royal Academy of Arts. This reissue brings together the two volumes of John Galt's biography of West, first published in 1816 and 1820.
The first complete scholarly edition of Galt’s short fiction and essays on transatlantic themes, including never before published manuscript texts.
