John Galt's Dramas

G.H. NEEDLER, the author of this book, is a native of Ontario, of mingled English and Scotch-Irish ancestry. After graduation at the University of Toronto and extended study in Germany, he became a member of the staff of University College, and was for several years Head of the Department of German. He has published a metrical translation of the The Nibelungenlied and shared in the making of several school text-books. Since becoming Professor emeritus he has edited a volume of letters of Mrs. Jameson to Goethe’s daughter-in-law, which he found in the Weimar Archives. The present book is a by-product of further study in the early Canadian field, particularly John Galt’s writings and his work with the Canada Company, which forms the background for “The Lone Shieling.”
