J. H. Alexander's latest book Walter Scott's Books: Reading the Waverley Novels opens with an ambitious prospect, that is, to deal with the seemingly most fundamental yet unfathomable element in Scott's writing--the style. As he suggests, from the perspective of readership, that for modern readers, especially young students who are to have access to Scott's novels, one of the biggest challenges is Scott's “circumbendibus style” (29) with a variety of rhetorics, genres, conflicting voices and polyphonic characters in a single narrative as what Bakhtin defines as ''heteroglossia.” However, Alexander contends that the allusive style is also where the ''fun'' and ''pleasure” of reading derive from, and the significance of Scott writing as a reader lies. To fully enjoy Scott's fictions, he suggests, one has to recognize how the texture of his works are formed. |
