The Waverley Novels – Kenilworth Edition: Rob Roy and Old Mortality (1890)

The Waverley Novels – Kenilworth Edition contains two classic historical novels by Sir Walter Scott: Rob Roy and Old Mortality. Published by George Routledge & Sons, New York, this undated Kenilworth Edition is generally attributed to circa 1890, making it an appealing antique volume for collectors of nineteenth-century literature.

Sir Walter Scott helped define the historical novel, blending adventure, romance, politics, Scottish history, and memorable characters into stories that shaped generations of readers. Rob Roy follows intrigue, family conflict, and Highland adventure, while Old Mortality explores religious struggle and political unrest in seventeenth-century Scotland.

With its Routledge imprint, late-Victorian era appeal, and pairing of two important Scott titles, this volume is a strong choice for collectors of antique books, Scottish literature, classic fiction, and decorative editions of The Waverley Novels.
