He has written numerous essays and chapters on the nineteenth-century novel for international journals and books, and has edited novels by Hardy, Charlotte Bronte and Elizabeth Gaskell. This happened because, as Sue Harper has shown, in the mid-1940s “the British Film producers” Association (BFPA) brought its policy on fiction in the public domain into line with that of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)”, denying British film-makers rights to British classics.

That is surely proof that if modern Scotland is a “stateless nation, an internal colony within the British state which clings precariously to its “difference” from England”, [76] that difference was, largely, produced neither by nor for the Scots themselves in the film age.

Over a twenty-year long career as a novelist he achieved phenomenal popularity and esteem, producing some twenty-five novels and collections of tales. As his wealth grew, Scott built a Gothic-style baronial mansion now known as Abbotsford House in Roxburghshire. These clusters, about 2 miles apart, consist ofnine production and six injection wells depleting five separate hydrocarbonaccumulations. It has been argued that historical romance is “a field in which perceived contradictions in history can be recreated and resolved.MGM’s Brigadoon (1954), Compton Mackenzie’s Monarch of the Glen (1941) and its later TV series (2000), and Bill Forsyth’s Local Hero (Goldcrest, 1983). Scott began to adapt his historical fiction to other places and other periods, shifting with apparent ease from medieval England to the France of Louis XI to the Palestine of the Crusades. In justification, or apology, for those who entertained such prejudices, I must remark, that the Scotch of that period were guilty of similar injustice to the English, whom they branded universally as a race of purse-proud arrogant epicures. Over the course of the century the realist novel gradually revealed its own aspirations to history, and Scott’s high-art historical romance was overshadowed by a different kind of historical fiction based in realism: initially in Thackeray and Dickens (where the of Scott is marked, as is the influence of Carlyle) and in Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot.
