Of the series: "...anyone who has read the Reception volumes will
be aware of the rigorous interrogation of issues of nationality,
Europeanism and literary cosmopolitanism that have added in such
valuable ways to our understanding of a range of British writers
within a wider international context." - Byron Journal

scholars, readers interested in reception studies, the history of
the book or literature in translation should find it compulsive
reading." - Byron Journal
"A valuable resource for Scott scholars - and for students of
European culture in the last two centries" - Translation and
Literature
'The Reception of Sir Walter Scott in Europe, edited by Murray
Pittock, is a collection of essays by able people. One of them,
Paul Barnaby, has provided a "timeline of the European reception"
of Scott's works, based on the dates of early translations. The
Germans were first to take him up, in 1810, with poems from
Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, followed by Lady of the Lake
five years later. In the meantime, there was poetry in Portuguese
and French, but once Scott began to write fiction the translations
came rapidly...'- Times Literary Supplement, August 2007
