{"product_id":"bogle-corbet-john-galt-9781474449465","title":"Bogle Corbet: Or the Emigrants","description":"Through the life-story of its eloquent but depressive narrator, \u003ci\u003eBogle Corbet\u003c\/i\u003e links the industrial revolution in Scotland to the French Revolution, Jamaica's plantation economy to the settlement of English Canada. A pioneering industrial novel, colonial novel, and world systems novel, \u003ci\u003eBogle Corbet\u003c\/i\u003e also offers an early psychological portrait of emigrant experience. Galt's vivid vignettes show Britain and key British colonies at moments of political unrest and transition, and explore the ambivalences of a world newly governed by industrialism, capitalism, globalisation, and mass displacement. Galt's novel thus remains a work for our own times, even as it offers important transcontinental insights into a key historical juncture. It has inspired eloquent champions (both nineteenth- and twentieth-century) and continues to spark critical debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Galt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474449468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474449465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 1.90d","brand":"John Galt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094201487615,"sku":"9781474449465","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1aa7c981-63f7-47e8-a0b1-4c71ed9c17a6.jpg?v=1724843980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bogle-corbet-john-galt-9781474449465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
