Summary/Abstract: Walter Scott, (1771.-1832.), one of the most famous British novelists and the founder of English historical novel, for the difference of his contemporaries, was generally known and very popular all over Europe, Australia and North America. His historical novels represent classical works of English and Scottish literature. This work is an attempt to show the reception of Walter Scott as an author on the areas of Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian language speakers since the first mentioning of his name to the beginning of the Second World War. During that period of nearly a century, only some twenty articles were published on Scott and his works. Nevertheless, regardless to this number, it is necessary to be pointed out that nearly all of them stressed Scott’s contribution to the development of historical novel as a genre, as well as his influence on European novelists.
