  Of all the great novelists of the Romantic period, only two, Jane Austen and Walter Scott, have been continuously reprinted, admired, argued about, and read, from the moment their works first appeared. This study traces how Scott's 19th-century success among all classes of readers made him the most admired and most widely read novelist in history.
