Specialist Notes
The Waverley Novels are a series of over two dozen historical novels published by Sir Walter Scott between 1814 and 1832. Although the novels were hugely popular and heavily promoted at the time, Scott did not reveal any authorship publicly until 1827. Notable works in the series include Waverley (1814), Guy Mannering (1815), Rob Roy ( 1817), The Heart of Midlothian (1818), Ivanhoe (1819), Kenilworth (1821), Quentin Durward (1823) and Redgauntlet (1824). All the stories were published together in a 48-volume series entitled Waverley Novels (1829-33), containing prefaces and final revisions by Scott, but completed after his death. The series influenced generations of writers and earned Scott a reputation as the founder of the historical novel genre.
