Book Description
This is a remarkable novel, in part because late in his career Scott has a new subject and in part because he employs a spare narrative style that is without parallel in the rest of his oeuvre. Many critics have written off late Scott and seen his last works as evidence of failing powers. This edition will prove these critics wrong, for in it we see a luminous creative intelligence working at high pressure to produce a tightly organized and deeply moving novel. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
