London: Adam and Charles Black, 1867-1868. Leather. Good Only. 8.5" by 5.5". Not Stated. A complete four volume set of the Copyright Edition of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley Novels. Complete in four volumes. Copyright edition entire. Each volume is illustrated with a frontispiece and vignette title pages for most of the novels. The Waverley Novels, a series of novels originally released between 1814 and 1832, often called his 'Magnum Opus' with Scott providing each novel with an introduction and notes. The historical novels played a significant part in the movement in readdressing the public perception of the Scottish Highlands and its culture, which had formerly been viewed by the South as a barbaric area of hill bandits, religious fanaticism, and Jacobite risings. Influenced by the eighteenth century Enlightenment, Scott believed in tolerance regardless of class, religion, politics, or ancestry, which is a consistent theme across the novels and in much of the original verse they contain. Written by Sir Walter Scott, a British historian, novelist, poet, and playwright whose works remain classics of European and Scottish literature. Volume one includes: Waverley, Guy Mannering, The Antiquary, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Black Dwarf, A Legend of Montrose, and The Bride of Lammermoor. Volume two includes: The Heart of Midlothian, Ivanhoe, The Monastery, The Abbot, Kenilworth, and The Pirate. Volume three includes: The Fortunes of Nigel, Peveril of the Peak, Quentin Durward, St. Ronan's Well, Redgauntlet, The Betrothed, Chronicles of the Canongate, and The Highland Widow. Volume four includes: The Talisman, The Two Drovers, Woodstock, The Fair Maid of Perth, Anne of Geierstein, Count Robert of Paris, The Surgeon's Daughter, and Castle Dangerous. With a glossary. In the original half calf with green cloth boards. Externally, sound with rubbing and light bumping to the extremities. Fading to the spine and the odd mark to the boards. Light loss to the head of the spines with small cracks to the rear joints of each volume. Hinges starting but firm to volume one. Internally, firmly bound.
