Product Description

Andrew Lincoln explores Scott's use of the past to explore key problems in the modern world, offering critical introductions to widely read poems and unique insights into the narrative strategies and ideological interests of Scott's greatest novels. Lincoln considers the impact of the French revolution, the experience of empire, and how ideas of progress were used both to rationalize the violence of empire and to counteract demands for political reform. He shows how contemporary issues, from the conflict between Western and Islamic cultures to the political significance of the private conscience in a liberal society, have their roots in the romantic era.

Product Description
1906. Sir Walter Scott was a master of diverse talents. He was a man of letters, a dedicated historian and historiographer, a well-read translator of foreign texts, and a talented poet. Deriving most of his material from his native Scotland, its history and its legends, Scott invented and mastered what we know today as the historical novel. This adventure, set in the Holy Land of Crusader fame, is a tale of Richard the Lionheart, of his noble knight Sir Kenneth of the Leopard (the prince royal of Scotland in disguise) and of the great Saracen ruler Saladin who fought the historical Richard to a standstill in Palestine.

Product Description

Rob Roy is set in 1715-16, yet it concerns not the conduct of the Jacobite Rising, but the economic and social conditions which gave rise to it. It celebrates the freebooting capitalism of the hero's father in the City of London, and the actual freebooting of Rob Roy, "the Robin Hood of Scotland, the dread of the wealthy, but the friend of the poor." And through Baillie Nicol Jarvie, one of Scott's most lively creations, it explores the delicate balance of generosity and selfish calculation that is required in all successful enterprise.

The text is based upon the first edition, corrected with readings from the manuscript, and is supplied for the very first time with comprehensive historical and explanatory annotation.

Edinburgh Press
The Edinburgh Press Edition of Walter Scott's Waverly novels is an extraordinary achievement of clear, original text as Scott wrote it with scholarly introductions. But a uniform hard back edition of Scott's novels is almost impossible, other than this edition, to find.The volumes are expensive, but are worth it to anyone who loves Scott and fine books. ...
