1871 The Antiquary
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding
Illustrated with a frontispiece, engraved title, and five plates. Collated, complete.
'The Antiquary' is one of Sir Walter Scott's historical fiction 'Waverley' novels, this novel in particular following an amateur historian and archaeologist who collects items of dubious antiquity.
There is also a romantic side to 'The Antiquary', between the protagonist William Lovel and Isabella Wardour.
The novel is set in the last decade of the eighteenth century, a vivid representation of Scottish life of that period.
This was Scott's favourite of his own novels.
Volume III of 'The Centenary Edition'.
