In the preface to the present volume the “translator” complains that ‘Walladmor’ was intended as a satire on the rage for Scott’s historical fiction, but had been mistaken for the genuine article by the reading public. Not in W.B. Todd &amp; A. Bowden, Sir Walter Scott: A Bibliographical History, 1796–1832. New Castle (DE), 1998.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991007923989707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
