Innovative and accessibly written, Picturing Scotland examines the
genesis and production of the first author-approved illustrations
for Sir Walter' Scott's Waverley novels in Scotland. Consulting
numerous neglected primary sources, Richard J. Hill demonstrates
that Scott, usually seen as disinterested in the mechanics of
publishing, actually was at the forefront of one of the most
innovative publishing and printing trends, the illustrated novel.
Hill examines the historical precedents, influences, and
innovations behind the creation of the illustrated editions,
tracking Scott's personal interaction with the mechanics of the
printing and illustration process, as well as Scott's opinions on
visual representations of literary scenes. Of particular interest
is Scott's relationships with William Allan and Alexander Nasmyth,
two important early nineteenth-century Scottish artists. As the
first illustrators of the Waverley novels, their work provided a
template for one of the more lucrative publishing phenomena.
Informed by meticulous close readings of Scott's novels and
augmented by a bibliographic catalogue of illustrations, Picturing
Scotland is an important contribution to Scott studies, the
development of the illustrated novel, and publishing history.
