Scott's shorter fiction has been seriously neglected. This is the first book-length study to explore its significance and development. By situating Scott's work in the shorter form in the context of a much wider engagement with the short story in Scotland, Cook also widens our understanding of this important genre and its origins. This study is particularly welcomed as we celebrate Scott 250 and re-assess our understanding of Scott and his legacies in so many different ways.--Alison Lumsden, University of Aberdeen
