Boydell & Brewer are pleased to announce that they will be publishing for the English Association the annual volume Essays and Studies, with effect from 1991.The seven essays in this collection look at different ways in which novelists may (or may not) use historical reference in order to achieve their aims.LEONEE ORMOND (King's College, London) Painting and the PastCLAIRE LAMONT (Newcastle) Waverley and the Battle of CullodenANGUS EASSON (Salford) A Novel Scarcely Historical?
