Walter Scott and Short Fiction

Through careful readings of, amongst others, the Highland stories (‘The Highland Widow’ and ‘The Two Drovers’), his Indian novella ( ), Gothic keepsakes (‘My Aunt Margaret’s Mirror’ and ‘The Tapestried Chamber’), and his Calabrian tale , this book offers new insights into the production and consumption of short stories, novellas, tales, sketches and other forms of fiction in the early nineteenth century and beyond.
