The Author Of Waverley Devlin Macmillan 1971

Description

The Author Of Waverley by D.D. Devlin

In this lucid and searching study of Walter Scott the author begins by discussing Scott's critical essays on earlier writers of fiction for the light they throw on his aims and practice as a novelist. He follows this with a consideration of Scott's historicism, and an attempt to answer the question 'What did history mean to Scott?' He then illustrates his findings in a detailed consideration of Waverley, Rob Roy, A Legend of Montrose, The Bride of Lammermoor and Redgauntlet, showing how their structure is the logical outcome of Scott's view of history, and emphasising, in a new and illuminating way, the central role of the great comic characters.
