The Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels  " 30-Volume Set - Walter Scott - Bog

This 30-volume set contains all of the novels from the Edinburgh Edition plus 2 volumes on the Magnum Opus Notes and Introductions.

'A passionately argued edition that refuses to shy away from the critical work that defines editing at its best. Corporately and individually, the editors have set and achieved demanding standards. Their minute scrutiny of textual states does not lie inert in synoptic apparatus, but is woven into cogent expositions of Scott's remarkable feats of composition. Shining steady light on the organic imagination at work within those mechanical relations, the Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels vigorously rebuts Thomas Carlyle's verdict on the man who was a "novel-manufactory". Scott emerges once again as a writer of heroic stature.'
Kathyrn Sutherland, The Times Literary Supplement
