More about the book

Set in the fictional Scottish town of Irvine, the narrative centers on William Pawkie, an ambitious provost who exploits his power for personal gain. Themes of corruption, greed, and community power struggles are intricately woven throughout the story. Galt's vivid characterizations and use of Scottish dialect enhance the authenticity of this satirical and humorous reflection on early 19th-century Scottish society. The novel serves as a critical commentary on local governance and societal dynamics, making it a significant work in Galt's oeuvre.
