Overview1905. Sir Walter Scott was a master of diverse talents. He was a man of letters, a dedicated historian and historiographer, a well-read translator of foreign texts, and a talented poet. Deriving most of his material from his native Scotland, its history and its legends, Scott invented and mastered what we know today as the historical novel. This novel sits somewhere in the middle of Scott's Waverley novels. Nigel Olifaunt embodies many elements familiar in the series, such as a young, foolish hero, a modest maiden, along with all the legal, economical, and financial themes that were employed in earlier Waverley books.
