Quentin Durward
By Sir Walter Scott Bart.
Edited by The Rev. P. Hately Waddell
Published by W.P. Nimmo, Hay & Mitchell: London c1895 (undated)

" Quentin Durward is one of Sir Walter Scott's most admired historical romances, first published in 1823 and set against the turbulent political landscape of 15th-century France and Burgundy. The novel follows the fortunes of Quentin Durward, a young Scottish archer who enters the service of King Louis XI of France, becoming entangled in court intrigue, shifting loyalties, and the ruthless power struggles of late medieval Europe. Scott combines chivalric adventure with sharp political insight, portraying Louis XI as a masterful and calculating ruler while vividly evoking the dangers and uncertainties of life at court and on the road.

This undated late-19th-century edition, published by W. P. Nimmo, Hay & Mitchell around c.1895, forms part of the popular Waverley Novels series and is edited by The Rev. P. Hately Waddell, whose scholarly notes, glossary of Scotch words, and critical commentary were intended to make Scott's works more accessible to Victorian readers. The volume is illustrated with period engravings and presented in a sturdy decorative cloth binding typical of Nimmo's well-regarded literary editions, reflecting the continued prestige and wide readership of Scott's fiction in the Victorian era.

While not an early edition, this attractive and thoughtfully edited volume represents an important phase in the reception of Scott's novels, bridging Romantic historical fiction and later Victorian literary culture. It remains a highly readable and collectible example of Scott's work, appealing particularly to admirers of Sir Walter Scott, collectors of Victorian editions of the Waverley Novels, and readers with an interest in medieval European history and classic historical fiction."
