"Waverley" is an historical novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). Published anonymously in 1814 as Scott's first venture into prose fiction, it is often regarded as the first historical novel in the western tradition.
The book became so popular that Scott's later novels were advertised as being "by the author of Waverley". His series of works on similar themes written during the same period have become collectively known as the "Waverley Novels".
Scott is considered one of the ten classical English authors (among Shakespeare, Chaucer and Dickens) in lyric, prose and drama, and was enormously praised by his contemporary public, which his hereditary peerage shows. He let the readers know that Scotland was more then misty moors and mountains, mostly in poverty.
The Condition of this Book is in very good to excellent, with exception for the gilt edges which might be a bit faded. It is used, but there is not really any signs of wear but maybe a scant amount of shelf wear. 452 (10) pp. Published by Franklin Library in 1981. Very rare to find.
Only sold in Stockholm for cash due to previous scams.
