| Summary |
Sir Walter Scott, once an immensely popular writer, is now largely forgotten. This book explores how works like 'Waverley' 'Ivanhoe', and 'Rob Roy' percolated into all aspects of cultural and social life in the 19th century, and how his work continues to resonate into the present day even if Scott is no longer widely read |
