Editorial Reviews

These latest volumes in the Edinburgh Edition afford fascinating insights into Scott's career as a novelist in the 1820s. The Edinburgh Edition is always alert to Scott's working practices and circumstances of the author and his publishers at the time of the genesis, composition, and production of the individual novels. These volumes are no exception. The editors describe with lucidity and eloquence the significance of these works within Scott's career, the processes of their composition and production, and the historical context of the novels.
