Literary reference | The Waverley Novels by Sir Walter Scott |
Bibliographic reference | The Waverley Novels are a long series of books by Sir Walter Scott. For nearly a century they were among the most popular and widely-read novels in all of Europe. Because he did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, they take their name from Waverley (1814), which was the first. The later books bore the words "by the author of Waverley" on their title pages.
More loosely, the term is used to refer to all of his novels. |
