One of the Waverley Novels by Walter Scott, The Black Dwarf was part of his Tales of My Landlord, 1st series. It is set in 1708, in the Scottish Borders, against the background of the first uprising to be attempted by the Jacobites after the Act of Union. One of the harshest reviews was in the Quarterly Review, written anonymously by Scott himself. The introduction to The Black Dwarf attributes the work to Jedediah Cleishbotham, whom Scott had invented as a fictional editor of the Landlord series. It is here that we have the most complete view of this character.

Autorenporträt
Walter Scott and Napoleon were born two years apart on 15 August (1771 and 1796 respectively). Napoleon single-handedly created modern warfare, but Scott did the same for adventure stories and modern history. He lived in Scotland and was regularly paid US$ 1.5 million per book with books being translated simultaneously in many languages.
