Zusammenfassung:The Ayrshire Legatees; The Steam-Boat; The Gathering of the WestProvides scholarly edition of the texts with explanatory notesAppendices supply material that appeared in the serial publication and was excised in subsequent book editionsIntroduction situates these works in the context of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, where they first appearedThe Ayrshire Legatees, The Steam-Boat and The Gathering of the West first appeared as serials in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine during the magazine's most innovative phase. Introducing a colourful cast of narrators and characters who present idiosyncratic perspectives on current events as they travel between London, Edinburgh, and the rural west of Scotland, Galt's texts experiment with observation, dialogue, storytelling, and genre.Bringing these three interrelated texts together in one volume for the first time, this edition includes extensive explanatory notes that identify Galt's allusions, references to historical events and social and cultural practices of the period in which they are set. An appendix details the textual changes between the Blackwood's serials and the book versions. The editor's introduction explores the origins of Galt's texts in the pages of Blackwood's Magazine and their reliance on the magazine's unique dialogism, cross-talk among contributions and inside jokes, along with the influential context of the historical novel
