Beschreibung

<p><b>Only edition in print</b><br><br>One of the main forces in early nineteenth-century literature, Sir Walter Scott was not<br>only among the greatest novelists of his time, but influenced generations of writers,<br>including literary giants such as Stendhal and Tolstoy. Though chiefly remembered<br>for his historical epics Ivanhoe, Rob Roy and Guy Mannering, Scott penned a<br>number of short stories which have been unjustly eclipsed by the enduring fame of<br>his longer works.<br><br>Mostly set in the Highlands of Scotland and presenting a vast array of memorable<br>characters, the stories in this collection are tinged with an element of the<br>supernatural or explore themes of murder and guilt, revealing the author's great<br>talent in the shorter-fiction form. This volume also includes a long excerpt from<br>Scott's Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, which questions how much credit can<br>be given to ghost stories and alleged supernatural occurrences.</p>
