1821Three volumes. 8vo. Uncut. Foxed. Bound in the original boards, which have become quite worn and broken. This true First Edition would make a good candidate for classy rebinding. "Kenilworth was born out of Constable's suggestion to write a novel set during the time of Queen Elizabeth; however, Scott rejected the suggestion that it be entitled "The Armada" because he had other ideas than centring the novel on the epic events of the invasion. He based the novel around the legend of the murder of Amy Robsart, a story told in Meikle's old ballad, which had been one of Scott's favourite poems. However, Scott did accept Constable's suggestion of naming the novel Kenilworth instead of "Cumnor Hall". The publisher applauded this decision with the exclamation: "By God, I am all but the author of the Waverley Novels!" When Kenilworth appeared in 1821 it was an immediate success with both readers and critics. The Edinburgh Review praised Scott for bringing to life the character of Queen Elizabeth, and for the way in which he contrasted the evil plotting of Varney against the grandeur of Kenilworth Castle." It was a grand best-seller on both sides of the Atlantic. FIRST EDITION / FIRST ISSUE. W151.
