Review Quotes

The book's publication is, one hopes, a sign that a serious scholarly return to Scott is underway... in recent years, the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels has attempted to reintroduce the Waverley Novels in their original, pre-Magnum Opus form, and one hopes that a new generation of readers will discover the author's remarkable descriptions of historical battles, deadly storms, and colorful Scottish villages without the distraction of footnotes and authorial asides
