We continue our study of large deviations of the empirical measures of a massless Gaussian field on $Z^d$, whose covariance is given by the Green function of a long-range random walk. In this paper we extend techniques and results of Bolthausen and Deuschel to the nonlocal case of a random walk in the domain of attraction of the symmetric $\alpha$-stable law, with $\alpha \in (0, 2 \wedge d)$. In particular, we show that critical large deviations occur at the capacity scale $N^{d-\alpha}$, with a rate function given by the Dirichlet form of the embedded $\alpha$-stable process. We also prove that if we impose zero boundary conditions, the rate function is given by the Dirichlet form of the killed $\alpha$- stable process.
