Novels Available as E-Texts

Follow the links below for online texts of the Waverley Novels made available by external sites. Only freely available texts have been listed. In most cases, the link will take you directly to the text. In others, it will direct you to a clickable list of the Scott texts published by the provider.Where known, we have indicated the source edition for the e-text.

Since this page was inaugurated, a large number of Scott etexts have been made available by the Internet Archive and Google Books. Rather than maintain a full listing of these, we have listed only the earliest edition (in many cases the First Edition) supplied by these providers.

The list of texts should not be regarded as comprehensive, but the page editor would be pleased to hear of significant omissions. For further information on the novels themselves, see Works. For information on Scott's career as a writer of fiction, see Scott the Novelist.
