Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Waverley Novels: St. Ronan´s Well The novel which follows is upon a plan different from any other that the author has ever written, although it is perhaps the most legitimate which relates to this kind of light literature. It is intended, in a word - celebrare domestica facta - to give an imitation of the shifting manners of our own time, and paint scenes, the originals of which are daily passing round us, so that a minute´s observation may compare the copies with the originals. It must be confessed that this style of composition was adopted by the author rather from the tempting circumstance of its offering some novelty in his compositions, and avoiding worn-out characters and positions, than from the hope of rivalling the many formidable competitors who have already won deserved honours in this department.
