- Abstract:
- The purpose of my study, then, was to determine, first of all, what has come to be the accepted theory of the technique of the novel. I then made an investigation to see to what extent Scott has formulated a theory of the novel and to see in what respects it conformed to and in what ways differed from the accepted theory today. Finally I studied Scott's own novels to determine how far he consciously practiced his own theory. If such a study should show that Scott has formulated with some definiteness an accepted theory for the construction of a novel, and if it should show further that he actually put such a theory into practice, then the attacks of the critics against his art as a novelist should be answered.
