THEY WERE THE LITERARY PHENOMENON OF THEIR TIME: The Wavеrly novels, 48 volumes set in fanciful re-creations of the Scottish Highlands (and other lands) of centuries past, published between 1814 and 1831 and devoured by a reading public hungry for these sweeping, interconnected melodramas. Тhe series popularized historical fiction, though they're also abundant in astute political and social commentary.
