Abstract
Against Lukács´ view that in Scott´s novels the representation of social conflict is the source of aesthetic value and the main criterion of aesthetic judgement, the essay points out the deeper and wider meaning of local details in Scott´s historical fiction. It focuses on the case of the representation of Tully-Veolan, which has a key function in the structure of the novel as a zone of contact of three different cultures, the English, the Higlanders and the Lowlanders.
