Waverley (Revised ed.)

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 gaveits name to the Waverley Novels. To this edition, P. D. Gardside 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.
