Walter Scott was acutely conscious of the fictionality of his historical novels. James Kerr reads the Waverley novels as a fictional project constructed around the relationship between the language of fiction and historical reality. Throughout Scott's novels there is a tension between the romancer, recasting past events with recognizably literary logic, and the historian, presenting an accurate account of the past.Kerr, James is the author of 'Fiction Against History Scott As Storyteller', published 2007 under ISBN 9780521033565 and ISBN 052103356X.
