AUTHOR
SUMMARY
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.James Kerr is the author of 'Fiction against History: Scott as Storyteller', published 1989 under ISBN 9780521364256 and ISBN 0521364256.
