Reginald Dalton is an 1823 comedy novel by the Scottish writer John Gibson Lockhart originally published in three volumes by William Blackwood in Edinburgh and Thomas Cadell in London.[1] It was one of four novels Lockhart published in the early 1820s, including Valerius (1821) and Adam Blair (1822). It takes place around Oxford University which Lockhart had himself attended.[2] It helped to launch the genre of "Oxford novels" which focus on the development of a young student.[3]
