A Letter To The Author Of Waverley, Ivanhoe, Etc. On The Moral Tendency Of Those Popular Works is a book written by Touchstone, Timothy in 1820. The book is a critique of the popular works of Sir Walter Scott, particularly his novels Waverley and Ivanhoe. Touchstone argues that Scott's works have a negative moral tendency, as they portray immoral and violent behavior in a positive light. He also criticizes Scott's portrayal of historical events and characters, which he believes are inaccurate and misleading. The book is written in the form of a letter addressed to Scott, and is a reflection of the moral and social concerns of the time. Overall, A Letter To The Author Of Waverley, Ivanhoe, Etc. On The Moral Tendency Of Those Popular Works is an important critique of the popular literature of the early 19th century, and provides insight into the moral and cultural values of the time.
