- This monograph analyses Scott’s twenty-six full-length novels in the versions that his first readers would have known, as recently republished in the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels. It connects each novel to at least one of twelve topics central to the Romantic period, comparing and contrasting Scott’s own work with that of a wide range of his contemporaries. It thus re-establishes the importance of a writer whose reputation has suffered unjustly from assumptions of social conservatism, through a revisionist gender-oriented study of his treatment of sex, violence, and their connections to the genres and cultures of his day.
