St. Ronan's Well. In Three Volumes.

SCOTT, Walter

Regular price $300.00 Sale

Sir Walter Scott is arguably the first historical novelist. This novel was published as a three-decker and likely for a circulation library in which paying members would rent it one volume at a time. While this edition shows considerable wear, it is an important and representative example of how fiction was circulated and experienced in nineteenth-century Britain.
