This book is a thoughtful and provocative exploration of how reading Scott might matter going forward   for futures past, and passing, and to come.'\"\" -James Chandler, The University of Chicago","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408842793303,"sku":"9781474429870","price":19.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781474429870.jpg?v=1730504411","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/walter-scott-at-250-9781474429870","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
