Om Twenty-First-Century Walter Scott
Walter Scott in the twenty-first century
In Scott at 250, major scholars revisit Walter Scott as a theorist of tomorrow, as the surveyor of the complexities of the present who also gazes, as we do, toward an anxious and hopeful future. Ten original essays explore new ideas on the novel, temporality and Scott's playful textuality, as well as introducing the women of Abbotsford. Scott has much to share in the experience, narration, anticipation and response to change as a condition of life - a condition our era, with its existential challenges to climate, to public health, to civilisation knows only too well.
