About the Author

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, (15 August 1771 - 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet. Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.

Editorial Reviews

The authoritative Edinburgh Edition brings modern scholarship to bear on Scott's (1771-1832) great Waverly Novels--which marked the emergence of the modern novel in the western world--and, at the same time, excises the ponderous pseudo-scholarship that characterized Scott's late Magnum Opus edition, and editions ever since. Saint Ronan's Well (1824) is a classic tale of Scottish country life. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
