Kenilworth
By Sir Walter Scott
Published by Walter Scott Limited: London c1900 (undated)
Carries The Prize Bookplate Of Adelaide Way College South Australia

" Kenilworth, one of Sir Walter Scott's great historical romances, brings to life the intrigue, splendour, and danger of Elizabethan England. Centred on the secret marriage of Amy Robsart to the ambitious Earl of Leicester, the novel explores the political tensions and personal betrayals surrounding Queen Elizabeth I's court. Scott's rich narrative blends historical fact with dramatic imagination, presenting a vivid portrait of power struggles, courtly ambition, and the tragic fate of a young woman caught between love and ruthless political necessity.

This early twentieth-century edition, published by Walter Scott Limited of London, presents the text in a sturdy black prize-binding featuring gilt pictorial crests of Adelaide Way College, South Australia. The original 1902 prize bookplate is still present and penned in neat contemporary hand, adding a distinctive touch of provenance and colonial educational history. With its solid presentation and classic illustration facing the title page, this edition offers both literary depth and historical charm for collectors and readers alike. Ideal for admirers of Sir Walter Scott, enthusiasts of Elizabethan historical fiction, and collectors of Australian prize-bound editions."
