A bestselling author in his own time and long after, Sir Walter
Scott was not only a writer of thrilling tales of romance and
adventure but also an insightful historical thinker and literary
craftsman. Over the last two decades, scholars have come to see him
as an important figure in Romantic-period literature, Scottish
literature and the development of the historical novel. Walter
Scott and Contemporary Theory builds on this renewed appreciation
of Scott's importance by viewing his most significant novels - from
Waverley and Rob Royto Ivanhoe,Redgauntlet, and beyond - through
the lens of contemporary critical theory. By juxtaposing pairings
of Scott's early and later novels with major contemporary
theoretical concepts and the work of such thinkers as Alain Badiou,
Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida and Slavoj Zizek, this book uses
theory to illuminate the complexities of Scott's fictions, while
simultaneously using Scott's fictions to explain and explore the
state of contemporary theory.
