Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) had an immense impact throughout
Europe. His historical fiction, which brought the ideas of
Enlightenment to bear on the novel,created for the first time a
sense of the past as a place where people thought, felt and dressed
differently. His writing influenced Balzac, Dostoevsky, Flaubert,
Tolstoy, Dumas, Pushkin and many others; and Scott's interpretation
of history was seized on by Romantic nationalists, particularly in
Eastern Europe. This book gives for the first time a comprehensive
account of the impact of Scott in Europe, from the early and highly
influential translations of Defauconpret in France to the continued
politicization and censorship of the novels in modern East Germany
and Franco's Spain. Generic chapters examine Scott's presence in
art and opera, two cultural forms which were deeply affected by his
novels. This exciting collection of essays by an international team
of leading scholars demonstrates the depth of Scott's impact on
European translation, fiction and culture from 1814 to the present.
It will be an indispensable research resource for Romanticists
everywhere
