About the Item
A stunning full calf fine binding of the first editions of these important works by prolific and renowned writer Sir Walter Scott.
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist and poet. Scott remains a celebrated figure in Scottish literary history, and the landscape of Scotland features heavily in his works. He was also a political figure, prominent within the Tory establishment, and served as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh for twelve years, between 1820 and 1832. He was a member of Clan Scott, a prominent Scottish clan. This set comprises seventeen volumes.
Published anonymously, 'by the Author of Waverley, Ivanhoe etc'.
From the library of Sir Robert Johnson Eden, 5th Baronet of West Auckland (1774-1844); containing his bookplate.
'The Abbot' (1820) is complete in three volumes. It is a historical novel following on from the plot of the Monastery, and details the imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots.
'Kenilworth' (1821) is complete in three volumes. It is a historical romance, leading up to the reception of Queen Elizabeth at Kenilworth Castle.
'The Pirate' (1822) is complete in three volumes. It is set upon the main island of Shetland and inspired by the life of John Gow, a notorious pirate.
'Peveril of the Peak' (1822) is complete in four volumes. It is Scott's longest novel, and explores the Popish Plot of the late seventeenth century.
'Tales of the Crusaders' is complete in four volumes, and comprises two of Scott's historical novels: 'The Betrothed' and 'The Talisman'. 'The Betrothed' is set in the 12th century, and 'The Talisman' during the Third Crusade.
In a full calf binding with gilt spines.
Externally, very smart; a stain to the title of Kenilworth Vol II, otherwise the spines are a touch rubbed, with a little bumping to extremities. Ownership bookplate to the front pastedown of each volume. Internally, generally firmly bound, with the first volume of 'THe Pirate' and 'Peveril of the Peak' strained slightly after the title page; the prefatory note of volume I of 'Peveril' is slightly detached. Pages are bright and clean with just the occasional spot.
