From the introduction - "The 'Magnum Opus' - for this is the name that has been attached (however inaccurately) to the Interleaved Set, those printed books containing the manuscript materials written or collected by Scott and forming the author's copy for what he and his circle knew as the Magnum edition published between 1829 and 1833, 'the Magnum as we call it' (journal, 14 April 1829) - is a document of the greatest importance to those interested in the evolution of the text of the Waverley Novels. The articles by Professor Millgate and Dr Alexander discuss these scholarly aspects of the Interleaved Set. " Contents include: The interleaved Waverley novels, by Jane Millgate; Descriptive guide to the interleaved set, by J.H. Alexander; The exile and return of the 'Magnum Opus', by Iain Gordon Brown; Related material in American collections, by Claire Lamont; My own right hand shall do it - An Anthology of Extracts from Scott s Journal and Letters, 1825-1831, compiled by Iain Gordon Brown; An illustrated commentary on the interleaved set, plates chosen and described by Iain Gordon Brown; Concordance, the Waverley novels, Sir Walter Scott's interleaved set.
