About the Author

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist, poet, playwright, and historian who also worked as a judge and legal administrator. Scott’s extensive knowledge of history and his exemplary literary technique earned him a role as a prominent author of the romantic movement and innovator of the historical fiction genre. After rising to fame as a poet, Scott started to venture into prose fiction as well, which solidified his place as a popular and widely-read literary figure, especially in the 19th century. Scott left behind a legacy of innovation, and is praised for his contributions to Scottish culture.

Editorial Reviews

Published in 1819 and 1824, respectively, these titles are typical of Scott's historical soap operas involving revenge, kidnapping, love, political turmoil, and what have you. To help readers understand the Scottish dialect in Scott's writing, these include glossaries as well as scholarly introductions. Both books are based on Scott's original texts.

Library Journal

This new edition restores the action of the novel to 1703, before the Union of Scotland and England in 1707, rather than after it, which is where Scott's revisions of 1830 placed it. Critical apparatus includes an account of the textual history of the novel, explanatory notes, a list of verbal changes from the first-edition text, and a glossary. Annotation c.
