Description

Originally published in 1974, this Routledge Revivals edition reprints three historical tracts examining the contentious Ballantyne-Lockhart controversy. John Gibson Lockhart, son-in-law of Sir Walter Scott, accused the Ballantyne brothers of precipitating Scott's financial collapse, whilst the Ballantynes vigorously disputed these allegations. This scholarly reprint illuminates the complex relationship between publishers, authors, and financial practices in early 19th-century Scotland, offering invaluable insights into the publishing industry during a transformative period. The work, curated by Stephen Parks of Yale University's Beinecke Library, provides primary source documentation of one of literary history's most significant disputes. Readers interested in publishing history, financial biography, and Sir Walter Scott's life will find this Routledge edition essential for understanding the economic pressures facing both authors and publishing houses in the 1830s.

Key Features

The Ballantyne-Lockhart Controversy presents three contemporary tracts documenting the dispute between Lockhart and the Ballantynes over Scott's financial ruin.

This Routledge Revivals reprint restores a 1974 edition, making this important historical document accessible to modern scholars and enthusiasts.

Stephen Parks, Curator of the Osborn Collection at Yale's Beinecke Library, curated this edition, ensuring scholarly accuracy and historical context.

The tracts reveal authentic period perspectives on publishing practices, author-publisher relationships, and financial management in early 19th-century Britain.
