Walter Scott is generally considered both the inventor of the historical novel and the first best-selling novelist. As the anonymous and enormously prolific “Author of Waverley,” Scott not only elevated the novel to a status equal to that of poetry but also influenced the way history has been written and understood by subsequent generations of historians and novelists. The Waverley Novels are a long series of books by Sir Walter Scott. For nearly a century they were among the most popular and widely-read novels in all of Europe. Because he did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, they take their name from Waverley, which was the first novel published in 1814.
