Reginald Dalton

In John Gibson Lockhart's remarkably modern tale from the early eighteen-hundreds, Reginald Dalton, a young man newly come to Oxford, is drawn out of his provinical youth into a greater world of high hopes, love's snares, broken trust, and the weighing of right and wrong. Set between Scotland and England, the story mingles wit, romance, betrayal, and keen attention to the social conditions of the time. This complete new edition was carefully produced to ensure fidelity to the 1823 first edition.
