Gilbert Stuart's literary criticism, historical works and political commentary have been overlooked by modern historians. Here, Zachs puts Stuart's life into the context of Enlightenment history. He describes how Stuart returned to Scotland after winning acclaim on London's Grub Street and founded his own periodical which subsequently flopped. Despite this he remained a prolific and widely published historical writer, but after failing to earn the recognition he felt was his due Stuart ended his life a disappointed man, steeped in alcoholism and physical and mental self-destruction.

Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, xiv, 226 pp. From the blurb - "This is the first biography of Gilbert Stuart, an important figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, His bold challenge to the ideas of David Hume, his innovative style of literary criticism and his passionate defence of Mary Qpeen of Scots were controversial and well known in his day but have since been forgotten, This study incorporates Stuart's own writings, manuscript sources and contemporary accounts to recount the life of a rebellious and idiosyncratic man. In this enjoyable biography Stuart's career is located within the context of eighteenth-century literary and political history. Zachs sets out the development of Stuart's controversial approach and describes how he retumed to his native Scotland, after gaining hard won recognition on London's Grub Street. The periodical Stuart founded did not succeed, but it established a critical approach which was taken up by nineteenth-century reviewers. His brand of historical writing anticipated the romanticism of the next generation. After failing to earn the acclaim he believed was his due, Stuart ended his life a disappointed man, steeped in alcohol and suffering physical and mental self-destruction yet still fighting his adversaries to the end."
