Waverley novels
|
|
Name by which the novels of Walter *Scott were known, because their titlepages just said 'by the author of Waverley' (the title of the first, in 1814). The anonymous and hugely popular author was referred to as the Great Unknown, until Scott finally announced at a public dinner in 1827 that he was the man.
