	Waverley, vol 1 Story (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Waverley was published in 1814, and, as the title-page was without the name of the Author, the work was left to win its way in the world without any of the usual recommendations.
		The mutual protection afforded by Waverley and Talbot to each other, upon which the whole plot depends, is founded upon one of those anecdotes which soften the features even of civil war; and, as it is equally honourable to the memory of both parties, we have no hesitation to give their names at length.
		The Author of Waverley has heard it objected to this novel, that, in the character of Callum Beg and in the account given by the Baron of Bradwardine of the petty trespasses of the Highlanders upon trifling articles of property, he has borne hard, and unjustly so, upon their national character.

	Walter Scott and his English Predecesessors
		When reading historical novels first came into fashion in the early 19th century with the publication of the then anonymous Waverley, they were equally popular with the readers, thus helping the novel to gain a new, and better, reputation than it had enjoyed before.
		The novel does not so much deal with historical events, political factions and their respective positions, but rather with the private life and affairs of Jaquelina of Hainault: She does not like the Duke of Brabant and therefore refuses to marry him.
		Waverley is presented by its author not as a historical novel in the wake of his predecessors, but rather as a novel of historical manners - a definition that implicitly points both at the existence of a tradition and at the new facets Scott adds to it, creating a new tradition in turn.

	Scott the Novelist
		According to Scott's account in the 'General Preface' to the 'Magnum Opus' edition of the Waverley Novels (questioned by some recent critics and biographers), the Waverley manuscript was mislaid during his move to Abbotsford in 1811.
		Firstly, the novel was not considered a serious genre at the time, especially in comparison with the sort of narrative verse that Scott had hitherto published.
		Now regarded as amongst the finest of the Waverley novels, its mixture of epistolary and narrative sequences was widely seen as a throwback to the conventions of the eighteenth-century novel.

	Waverley Novels
		From Waverley, which appeared on the 7th July 1814, with an impression of one thousand copies, to Castle Dangerous, which was published at the close of November 1831, with an introduction sent from Naples in February 1832, was a period of seventeen years and twenty-seven books.
		Scott's novels have been translated into every civilised tongue, and Scott has become the most valuable commercial asset of his country, for the ends of the earth come to see the land of which he is the cicerone, and every third American is a lineal descendant of Queen Mary.
		Between the books of precocious moderns and the Waverley Novels there is the same difference as between the trim lawn and the neat little beds of a villa garden, and the mountain side with the swelling waves of purple heather and the emerald green between.

	DATING WAVERLEY
		In 1829, Scott wrote the General Preface to the Waverley Novels as part of the Magnum Opus, the definitive version of the Waverley Novels.
		The rest of the novel was apparently finished off in great haste in various stages between October 1813 and June 1814.
		This well-known story is, in the words of John Sutherland, 'one of the hoarier creation myths of nineteenth-century literature...[but one] [t]he reading public have always loved.'(169) It is a well written story, with the convincing details of the fishing-tackle and the heaps of junk which cover the manuscript.

		In printing this New Edition of the Waverley Novels, the Publishers have availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded them of carefully collating it with the valuable interleaved copy in their possession, containing the Author's latest manuscript corrections and notes; and from this source they have obtained several annotations of considerable interest, never before published.
		That Waverley and its successors have had their day of favour and popularity must be admitted with sincere gratitude; and the Author has studied (with the prudence of a beauty whose reign has been rather long) to supply, by the assistance of art, the charms which novelty no longer affords.
		Waverley was naturally modest, and therefore did not fall into the egregious mistake of supposing such minuter rules of military duty beneath his notice, or conceiting himself to be born a general, because he made an indifferent subaltern.

	Criticisms and Interpretations. V. Walter Bagehot on the Waverley Novels. Scott, Sir Walter. 1917. Guy Mannering, or ...
		It would be tedious to show how clearly the same sagacity appears in his delineation of the various great events and movements in society which are described in the Scotch novels: there is scarcely one of them which does not bear it on its surface.
		Objections may, as we shall show, be urged to the delineation which Scott has given of the Puritan resistance and rebellions, yet scarcely any one will say there is not a worldly sense in it; on the contrary, the very objection is that it is too worldly and far too exclusively sensible.
		He does not fatigue himself or excite their wondering smile by theoretical plans of impossible relief; he makes the best of the life which is given, and by a sanguine sympathy makes it still better.

	The Waverley Series and Don Quixote: Manuscripts Found and Lost, by Patricia S. Gaston
		Crystal Croftangry, the last of the Waverley narrative personae, is presented with the most personal found manuscript in: that this one is a remnant of his own family history and all that remains for him of a failed fortune.
		For the Waverley series, source materials are ballads, poems, oral narratives, and historical texts, all of which create the layered, embedded narratives that constitute what this series means by historical fiction, historiography, and, indeed, all forms of historical discourse.
		Further, the Waverley novels as historical fictions demonstrate a remarkable urgency in their search for the lost manuscripts of the past: the human past as manuscript is ephemeral and constantly receding, determined to lose itself or to remain lost.

	Sir Walter Scott \| Scottish Novelist and Poet
		The Waverley Novels express his belief in the need for social progress that does not reject the traditions of the past.
		The third novel in the Waverley series, and Scott's personal favorite, The Antiquary centers on a young man who meets a loquacious old antiquary, on a trip to Scotland.
		This novel, set between the two Jacobean insurrections in 1736 and during the Porteous Riots, is considered by many it to be Scott's national epic.

	JOHN BANIM - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN BANIM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		During a short visit to Kilkenny he married, and in 1822 planned in conjunction with his elder brother MICHAEL (1796-1874), a series of tales illustrative of Irish life, which should be for Ireland what the Waverley Novels were for Scotland.
		In April 1825 appeared the first series of Tales of the OHara Family, which achieved immediate and decided success., One of the most powerful of them, Crohoore of the Bill Hook, was by Michael Banim.
		The true place of the Banims in literature is to be estimated from the merits of the OHarci Tales; their later works, though of considerable ability, are sometimes prolix and are marked by too evident an imitation of the Waverley Novels.

	Cardiff Corvey Articles, III.2: P. GARSIDE, Scott & the ‘Common Novel’, 1808—1819
		Scott’s strategy from the commencement of the Waverley Novels, it might be argued, was to create a ‘superior’ kind of fiction, pitched in such a way as to draw back a male book-buying audience as acknowledged readers of fiction.
		Female-authored novels outnumber those by males by two to one in years 1810, 1812, 1813, 1814, and 1816, and are never exceeded during the whole decade.
		As these figures suggest, the Waverley novels first emerged at a time when male authorship was at an unusually low ebb; though from 1820 the position changes sharply, and by the later 1820s, no doubt partly because of Scott’s influence, male novelists are dominant.

	George Glazer Gallery. Sir Walter Scott, Waverley Novels
		Sir Walter Scott was a novelist, poet, historian, and biographer who is often considered the inventor of historical novel.
		He followed up with a series of novels that, like Waverley, were set in his native Scotland and vividly depicted characters from all segments of Scottish society, the most popular of which is Ivanhoe, a story set in the 12th Century.
		The technique of the omniscient narrator and the use of regional speech, localized settings, sophisticated character delineation, and romantic themes treated in a realistic manner were all combined by him into virtually a new literary form, the historical novel.

	Amazon.com: Books: A Legend of the Wars of Montrose (The Waverley Novels) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This title was forced on Scott by his publisher and was a misrepresentation of his original intention and indeed the story, for Scott wrote that the novel was "not a Tale of Montrose but of his wars".
		In addition to restoring numerous lost readings the present edition also provides the reader with a full glossary and extensive, detailed notes, which explain the historical background to the novel and clarify much, which would otherwise be obscure.
		A Legend of the Wars of Montrose may not be one of Scott's great novels, but it is a good one with enough romance, action and humour to satisfy his admirers.

	THE GENERAL PREFACE
		The 'General Preface' to the Waverley Novels was published in 1829 to accompany the Magnum Opus edition.
		Apart from the fishing tackle story and certain remarks about his literary career, the preface is interesting because of the very loose way in which Scott uses the terms novel, romance and tale.
		At certain moments, Scott is prescriptive, in the sense that fiction and romance are supposedly inferior products closely related to the Gothic.
