Focusing on the concept of the "passive hero," this influential work examines Sir Walter Scott's impact on property dynamics and the propertied classes in his novels. Alexander Welsh analyzes Scott's entire fiction canon, illustrating how these themes shaped nineteenth-century literature and history. The updated edition includes essays on historical and revolutionary themes in "Old Mortality," discussions on repression and social contracts, and an afterword contrasting different literary styles, enriching the understanding of Scott's legacy.
