Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Find Out What Scott Really WroteGoing back to the original manuscripts, a team of scholars has uncovered what Scott originally wrote and intended his public to read before errors, misreadings and expurgations crept in during production.The Edinburgh Edition offers you:- A clean, corrected text- Textual histories- Explanatory notes- Verbal changes from the first-edition text- Full glossariesTitle DescriptionEdward 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, or 'tis Sixty Years Since was Scott's first novel, but like its final chapter, 'A Postscript, which should have been a Preface', it appears as one of the 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 that gave its name to the Waverley Novels. To this edition, P. D. Garside brings new insights and new information, and he establishes a text that is significantly different from its predecessors.
