The founder of the historical novel genre, Sir Walter Scott.

This is the first novel novel in which Scott tried a specifically English topic. However, it should be noted that even within the pretense of giving a historical character to the work, the author himself acknowledges that he has taken certain liberties in that sense (mixture of fictional and historical characters). These are shown in the enmity between Saxons and Normans at the time in question, as well as other environmental details. This does not diminish the importance of the novel, but rather Scott's narrative agility ensures reader interest.

Perhaps the most attractive characters are the purely imaginary ones like Ivanhoe, his beloved Lady rowena or the beautiful
Hebrew Rebecca, Daughter of Isaac of York. They are also Friar Tuck, jovial and fighter, or Wamba, the faithful and devoted jester of Cedric the Saxon, Ivanhoe's father. And next to them
appear legendary characters like the famous Robin Hood and real like kings and brothers Richard the Lionheart and Juan Sin Tierra, which contribute to increase the interest of the novel.
Walter did not like the tedious work in the office of his father; the paperwork only made the young man sad and dull. However, young Scott still tried to somehow benefit from the routine work. To mix up the usual gloomy days, the young man tried to use ink and pen to portray fantastic adventure worlds. Also, by filling up various legal documents and doing the paperwork, Walter received a small salary which he spent
on favorite books.

At the insistence of his parent, Walter chose to practice law as his career path. In 1792, the young man passed the exams at the University and received a law degree. Since then, Scott was considered a respectable man in society with a prestigious profession and education.

Sir Walter Scott, like Franz Kafka, did not believe that the literary field can be regarded as the primary income in life and did not want to acquire fame and recognition – to put it mildly, Scott shunned popularity and treated writing without zealotry. Writing for Scott was nothing more than a favorite pastime that brightened up the lonely hours of life and brought new emotions and colors to the canvas of being. Scott’s first work as a novelist was the novel Waverley, published anonymously in 1814, whose plot is set in the last Jacobite uprising, an uprising that

against the House of Hanover, which ruled London. The novel immediately caused a furore; with it, Scott practically founded the modern historical novel, at least for the English-speaking world. In rapid
succession, he wrote in the following 10 years a wealth of other
historical novels and stories with Scottish themes that is hardly surpassed in the annals of literary history: Guy Mannering, Old Mortality, Rob Roy and more, all of them (and later) published without his name, only with the indication “Author of Waverley” or under a pseudonym.
Sir Walter Scott was a Scottish romantic writer, the first great writer
of historical novels. He was born in Edinburgh on August 15, 1771. His father was an Edinburgh lawyer and had a large family. ... The
book is written with the great descriptive skill for
which Scott is famous. He was a master of painting wonderfully individualized expressive and vivid characters. The main idea of the book is to call for peace and compromise. Scott wanted to reconcile the hostile classes. He believed that social harmony possible if the best representatives of all classes would unite in a struggle against evil. This idea is expressed in the novel 'Ivanhoe' in the episode when the Norman king Richard, together with Robin Hood and his merry men, attack the castle of the Norman.
Scott has a Romantic idea of war: he presents it as heroic, shaped by the code of Romances. According to him the battlefield is a place where every man can practise and show his bravery, his loyalty, his desire to sacrifice himself for other human beings or for a cause. War is the field of the Hero and the Rebel dissatisfied with society and its unjust rules.
War is considered an idealized moment, men fight for some right reasons and for their ideals.
Scott doesn’t describe the atrocities of killing, he distances the violence of a conflict transforming war into a source of imaginative pleasure, he undercovers the horrors of war with the idea of future glory.
Connected to this conception of war there is the cult of the individual, typical of the Romantic age: a rebel, a hero who fights to defend people unjustly accused, who fights to restore the just lists, against society .
Scott emphasizes heroic individual actions so a great importance is given to single combats or duels fought according to the rules of chivalry.
Ivanhoe can be considered the Romantic Hero: he fights on the right side, to save Rebecca , to help Richard I; he doesn’t accept compromise, he is ready to die for his ideals, he is characterized by a disinterested personal virtue. Ivanhoe fights with the Anglo-Saxons against the evil Normans: patriotism is a virtue that implies active resistance to tyranny and oppressio, a heroic self-sacrifice for the public good. But the sacrifice will be rewarded, in fact the heroe is destined to be separated from the stern demands of patriotic duty and to be consigned to the enjoyment of persoonal liberty and prosperity.
In Ivanhoe, the clash between the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans reflects the social struggle between the aristocracy and the lower classes. In Waverley the battlefield is also the place where the protagonist is subjected to an evolution: the war is the moment of the moral growth of
Waverley, he will learn loyalty and bravery The war consists also in a cultural conflict between the jacobite rebels, who want to restore the Stuart Dynasty on the throne, and the Hanoverians. Waverley is the point of contact between the two opposite sides. Also in Ivanhoe the two cultures in conflict, Anglo-Saxon and Norman, find their meeting point in the protagonist .
First of all, we must understand that Scott was a "Romanticist," with a capital "R." Romanticism was a literary movement of the late 18th century which heavily emphasized the importance of nature and man's emotions and imagination in conjunction with, and in response to, the natural world. Be aware, too,...
After a while, Scott began to feel that with all of the knowledge he had collected about Scottish history and Scottish culture, perhaps a longer form than poetry might actually suit his interests and his writing style better.
This novel Waverley was so popular that Scott was able to kick out a new novel every one to two years for a while, and they kept selling, which is great because making a living as a writer is not easy at any time in history. He also kept publishing those books anonymously, and they were only attributed to 'the author of Waverley,' which led all these subsequent novels to be commonly referred to as 'The Waverley Series' or 'The Waverly Novels'. Scott finally revealed that he was the author of
the Waverley books in 1827, but it wasn't that big of a deal - a lot of people already had suspected that for a long time, so maybe not quite the big reveal he had hoped for.
We should spend a little time talking about a few of Scott's most popular novels individually so you'll get a sense of the kind of plots that he favored - I think you might notice some consistencies. In general, you might notice that all of these books are full of characters (often with very intricate family relations) who are usually caught up in some twisting, potentially confusing plots like any soap opera you've ever seen.
That's because major historical events provided the skeleton to all of Scott's work. So, for those of us who might be unfamiliar with Scotland's tumultuous history, some of these conflicts with their many political and religious allegiances can be hard to follow - it's true. If anything, though, that should give you an idea of the grand scope of Scott's novels. He had his sights set on these really major events that had a big impact on his country's history. He liked important characters and sweeping action.
First published in four volumes in 1818, Scott's historical novel 'The Heart of Mid-Lothian' is often considered to be one of his finest works. It was published shortly after his popular novel, 'Rob Roy'.
Real places and historical events, including the 1736 Porteous Riots,
provided inspiration for the plot. The title refers to the name of the Old Tolbooth Prison in Edinburgh, where the character Effie Deans is awaiting trial, accused of murdering her child. Effie's sister, Jeanie Deans, believes she is innocent. Jeanie walks from Edinburgh to London, to ask for a pardon for her sister from the Queen
Sir Walter Scott was a key figure in developing the historical novel and is one of Scotland's most important authors.
Scott was crucial in creating and shaping part of Scotland's national identity in the 19th century, and that legacy is still felt today. His technique of setting stories in familiar historical events and bringing together fictional characters and real-life figures proved widely popular with readers.
First editions of Scott's novels will be on display alongside a significant collection of his correspondence, engravings, and original manuscripts, including 'The Heart of Mid-Lothian'.
Historical fiction as a genre is important and relevant to our times for many reasons. It has also been one of the more popular genres of the twentieth century world literature. There have been many novels and short stories belonging to this genre written in the past 200 years which have achieved cult status. Their fame and presence in literature is a matter of curiosity. Some of the most famous novels of this genre are, The Sea of Poppies, A Spoke in the wheel, Ivanhoe, Waverly, etc. The
aim of this paper is to study and analyse various aspects of the historical novel, i.e., need for fiction in a historical narrative, the defining features of historical fiction and having a good look at works of Walter Scott, who is generally considered to be the founder of this genre, and his “Rob Roy” in particular.
But before we go on to define historical fiction as a genre, it is necessary to consider those parameters which would enable a set of texts to be termed similar and understand that it is also possible that a particular text belongs to multiple genres, a historical tragedy for instance, which borrows or recombines from more than one previously existing work of literature.
