Abstract
Scott has been so neglected in the twentieth century that we can easily forget how very important he was to the Victorians. Throughout the nineteenth century he remained enormously popular, the reading public revered him, and he had a strong influence on some of the great Victorian novelists, notably the Brontës and George Eliot. Novels written much later in the century very often echo his work.
