Rooted in histories of the novel beginning in the eighteenth century, but challenging conventional theories that the novel erased the romance, the work treats Walter Scott as an important influence on the genre and analyzes the strategies used to romance history in the varied subgenres constituting current historical fiction."-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: The Romance of History among Waverley's Descendants -- PART I: WALTER SCOTT AND THE ROMANCE OF HISTORY.
