Descripción
Sumario:[EN]The present article tries to examine the weight of the British and European Cervantean tradition in the early novels of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). Through the analysis of the recognizable presence of Cervantean elements characteristic of Cervantes’s eighteenth-century emulators in novels such as Waverley (1814), Guy Mannering (1815) and The Antiquary (1816), this article will try to demonstrate how Scott’s early novel-writing possesses a clear transnational and European flavor, despite its evident local tone. Scott is thus not only the creator of a new novelistic genre capable of portraying Scottish history and its peculiarities, but also an important link in a novelistic tradition which will spread over Europe from the seventeenth century onwards: the Cervantean tradition.
