Om denne bog
Guy Mannering; or, The Astrologer, first published in 1815, was Walter Scott''s second novel. Guy Mannering only half-believes in his art, but does believe in the ability of patriarchal power, wealth, and social position to sort out social confusion. However, he has to learn the limits of a nabob''s authority in a society that (in the 1780s) is no longer a single hierarchy but has many subsets, each with its own laws - gypsies, smugglers, Edinburgh lawyers, the Border store farmer, the traditional landowner.
This is the first modern edition of one of Scott''s finest works. It is based on the first edition, but is corrected from the manuscript, and restores around two thousand readings lost through error or misunderstanding. For the first time it includes Scott''s extended portraits of the Edinburgh literati which were unaccountably omitted from the printed version.
