Waverley Novels Large Type Border Edition Complete 24 Volumes

 

 

The first of Scott’s Waverley Novels burst upon an astonished world in 1814. Its publication marked the emergence of the modern novel in the western world, influencing all the great nineteenth-century writers.

The first definitive edition was the 48-volume set published between 1829 and 1833 by Robert Cadell (named the “Magnum Opus” by Scott), and was based on previous editions, with new introductions and appendices by Scott.

The Border Edition edited by Andrew Lang was an update on the Magnum Opus edition with new material researched by Andrew Lang and was published by two different publishers in the
24 Volume Edition, John C Nimmo (1898-1900) & Macmillan (1900-1906)

The complete set in 24 volumes of the Large-Type Border Edition, edited by famous folklorist Andrew Lang, an authority on Sir Walter Scott and his biographer, contains Lang’s introductions.
