Waverley - Or, ''Tis Sixty Years Since

Informationen zum Autor Walter Scott and Edited by Peter Garside Klappentext Edward Waverley is a young, cultured man whose sensibilities lead to his involvement in the Jacobite Rising of 1745. In his journey into Scotland, down to Derby, and back up again he explores the cultural and political geography of Great Britain. Waverley was Scott's first novel, but like its final chapter, 'A Postscript which should have been a Preface', it appears last in this series, so that the full weight of experience gained from editing Scott's fiction can be brought to understanding his most influential novel, the one which gave its name to the Waverley Novels. To this edition, P. D. Garside brings new insights and new information, and he establishes a text which is significantly different from its predecessors. This is a great culmination to the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels. Zusammenfassung A critical edition of Scott's first novel about Edward Waverley! a young! cultured man whose sensibilities lead to his involvement in the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
