Reviews

""Gendering Walter Scott: Sex, Violence and Romantic Period Writing conducts a comprehensive review of Walter Scott’s major novels through the lens of gender studies [...] This is an important book. It fills a gap in Scott studies, pro-vides an in-depth exploration of romantic gender ideology, and justifies the current scholarly rediscovery of Scott as a key figure in the field."" - Yanxu Chen, Northeast Normal University, China, Scottish Literary Review
