About The Book Old Mortality and the Black Dwarf were published together as the first series of the Tales of My Landlord on December 1, 1816. The first is certainly one of the best of Scott's historical romances. It was the fourth of the Waverley Novels, and the authorship was still unavowed; though Mr. Murray, the publisher, at once declared it must be written either by Walter Scott or the Devil. On the other hand, there were critics who did not believe the book was Sir Walter's because it lacked his tedious descriptions. Some said openly it was the work of several hands. The study of the fierce, fanatical Covenanters in Old Mortality is done not only with all the author's literary genius, but a wonderful fidelity to historical truth; and while the accuracy of the portrait of Claverhouse-- Bonny Dundee --will always be disputed, no lover of romance will question its brilliant charm. The immediate popularity of Old Mortality was less than many of the Waverley Novels, only two editions, amounting to 4,000 copies, being sold in six weeks.
