| Sir Walter Scott |
| |
| 1771–1832, Scottish novelist and poet, b. Edinburgh. He is considered the father of both the regional and the historical novel. His first novel, Waverley (1814), was an immediate success. There followed the “Waverley novels”—romances of Scottish life that reveal Scott’s great storytelling gift and his talent for vivid characterization. They include Guy Mannering (1815), The Antiquary (1816), The Black Dwarf (1816), Old Mortality (1816), Rob Roy (1818), The Heart of Midlothian (1818), The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), and The Legend of Montrose (1819).—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
