Mr Mayhead examines Scott's contemplation of the detribalization of Scotland after the Jacobite rebellions, and the political and social stresses this brought about. He also picks out a vein of shrewd moral wisdom within his works, focusing on Waverley, Heart of Midlothian, Guy Mannering and The Abbot as the works which embody these interests.
