The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Works of
John Gibson Lockhart
Some Passages in the Life of Mr Adam Blair is the story of a young Church of Scotland minister who, following the death of his wife, enjoys an extended visit from a married family friend, Charlotte Campbell. Charlotte has endured harassment and psychological abuse in her marriages, and Adam and Charlotte develop a mutually-supportive relationship; at least until a night of sexual passion changes their lives. Through strong, sympathetic characters, Lockhart challenges the reader to rethink the nature of social relationships and traditional gender roles.
This scholarly edition of Lockhart's best-known novel is the first modern publication based on the revised second edition, Lockhart's final text. The critical apparatus in this volume includes a thorough textual history based on comparative studies of the manuscript, corrected proof pages, first and second edition; extensive annotation; a Scots glossary; and a contextual introduction to provide the modern reader with the resources to re-evaluate Lockhart's place in the history of the Scottish novel and Romantic fiction.
Thomas C. Richardson is Eudora Welty Professor of English at Mississippi University for Women.
