This Bibliography of Sir Walter Scott describes not only the variants in his novels and verse, as published in English during his lifetime, but extends to his lesser known activities as advocate and sheriff, antiquarian, biographer, editor, historian, reviewer, casual commentator from his Abbotsford estate, and constant contributor to the work of his friends and associates.
Apart from what is essentially Scott, this bibliography further discloses his often anonymous reappearance in 164 anthologies and again, now indirectly, in countless printings deriving from his original work - in shabby chapbooks, grand suites of illustrations, operas, plays, and endless reams of sheet music. After 160 years, interest in Scott continues as strong as ever. With releases of major motion pictures based on his novels and new editions of his works being republished around the world, Sir Walter's ability to enthrall remains undiminished.

A gorgeous copy in PERFECT condition. Brand New in a Brand New dust jacket STILL SEALED in the publisher's clear plastic SHRINKWRAP. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. NOT a library discard. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. 1998. First Edition (so stated). The standard Sir Walter Scott bibliography. This is a full dress, fully descriptive bibliography in the Soho and Pittsburgh style. Fully described here are Scott's writings -- first editions, first and later impressions, variants, later editions and reprints -- with collation, pagination, cancels, binding, typography, illustrations/figures, publication history, watermarks, contents and notes, translations, library locations, etc. Includes cross references to other standard authorities. Illustrated. Four appendices. Two indexes. Bound in the original gilt-stamped maroon cloth. From the pristine dust jacket: "This bibliography of Sir Walter Scott describes not only the variants in his novels and verse, as published in English during his lifetime, but extends to his lesser known activities as advocate and sheriff, antiquarian, biographer, editor, historian, reviewer, casual commentator from his Abbotsford estate, and constant contributor to the work of his friends and associates. Primarily from these other concerns, some 115 issues have been identified as probable or certain instances of Scott's involvement, acknowledged or concealed, and attention occasionally directed to other possibilities as yet unrecognised. Quite unknown, and here documented at length, beginning with KENILWORTH, are frequent extracts from the novels in a Philadelphia journal, some of them far in advance of publication in Edinburgh. Apart from what is essentially Scott, this bibliography further discloses his often anonymous reappearance in 164 anthologies and again, now indirectly, in countless printings deriving from his original work - in shabby chapbooks, grand suites of illustrations, operas, plays, and endless reams of sheet music. Thus any one Scott performance may have numerous consequences, totaling 60 or more entries cited here for a popular novel (WAVERLEY, ROB ROY, IVANHOE, THE PIRATE); at least 100 or so for several of the poetic romances; 199 entries for MARMION, and a rather astonishing count of 435 for THE LADY OF THE LAKE. From this larger perspective it may be argued that Scott's influence, immediate and remote, exceeded that of all other writers in the Romantic Era." Oversize Hardcover. This heavy book (over 5 pounds) will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments, but only the standard charge for media mail. . First Edition (so stated). Hardcover (heavy). New/New DJ (still in shrinkwrap). xx, 1,071pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 019050
