| | Sir Walter Scott Scottish Novelist and Poet |
 | | It is the tale of Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a knight returning from the Crusades who finds himself disinherited and thwarted in the pursuit of the lady Rowena. | | | Scott's amiability, generosity, and modesty made him popular with his contemporaries. | | | Scott's work shows the influence of the 18th century enlightenment. |

| | Sir Walter Scott |
| | Sir Walter Scott had now apparently attained a degree of human greatness, such as rarely falls to the lot of literary men; and he was generally considered as having, by prudence, fairly negatived the evils to which the whole class are almost proverbially subject. | | | The literary character of Scott is to be traced to the traditionary lore which he imbibed in the country, and the vast amount of miscellaneous reading above referred to, in conjunction with the study of the modern German poets and romancers, which he entered upon at a subsequent period. | | | It is by far the greatest glory of Sir Walter Scott, that he shone equally as a good and virtuous man, as he did in his capacity of the first fictitious writer of the age. |

| | Scott’s narrative poems introduced a form of verse tale that won great popularity; his lyrics and ballads, such as “Lochinvar” and “Proud Maisie,” are masterly in feeling and technique. | | | Ivanhoe (1820), Scott’s first prose reconstruction of a time long past, is a complicated romance set in 12th-century England. | | | The Lay of the Last Minstrel, his first major poem, appeared in 1805 and was followed by Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). |

| | Sir Walter Scott - Books and Biography |
| | Scott returned to the poem in 1802, when a horse had kicked him and he spent three days in bed. | | | Scott's historical novels fall into three groups; those set in the background of Scottish history, from Waverly to A Legend of Montrose; a group which takes up themes from the Middle Ages and Reformation times, from Ivanhoe to Talisman, and his remaining books, from Woodstock onwards. | | | His wife, Lady Scott, died in 1826, and the author himself had a stroke in 1830. |

| | First, he essentially invented the modern historical novel; an enormous number of imitators (and imitators of imitators) would appear in the 19th century. | | | It too was a runaway success and, as he did with his first novel, he unleashed a slew of books along the same lines. | | | He had an unsuccessful love affair with Williamina Belsches of Fettercairn, who married Sir William Forbes. |

| | Biography of Sir Walter Scott |
| | Scott was the father of historical fiction (emphasis on fiction here) and Rob Roy is one of his best books, originally published in 1817. | | | Here he succeeded beyond all ambition, not only becoming a best-selling author (and a baronet), but inventing a whole new genre and ensuring himself a place in all the literature textbooks as "the father of historical fiction." He would be pleased with the appellation. | | | Counted as "classics", his books are read today by anyone who enjoys a rousing tale and great romance. |

| | Scott told, among others, a story, which he was fond of telling, of his old friend the Lord Justice- Clerk Braxfield; and the commentary of his Royal Highness on hearing it amused Scott, who often mentioned it afterwards. | | | Walter Scott became Sir Walter Scott, Baronet, of Abbotsford; on whom Fortune seemed to pour her whole cornucopia of wealth, honour and worldly goods; the favourite of Princes and of Peasants, and all intermediate men. | | | Scott was among the first to perceive that the day of Metrical Chivalry Romances was declining. |

| | Sir Walter Scott |
| | Scott’s poetic course was a clearly marked triumph, for seven years, beginning with his Lay of the Last Minstrel, till in 1812 his star waned before the blazing comet of Lord Byron. | | | So, too, it must be admitted, Scott’s love of the Border reiver was the love of a well-settled man of imaginative tendency but at a safe distance of time. | | | Poetry made an eye-appeal, being) written to be read by a man in an easy chair—reflections on man, God, Nature, human life—a kind of sermonising with a chiming tag at the end of each pentameter. |

| | One of the last things Walter said to one of his friends was, "my dear, be a good man- be virtuous- be religious -be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here."
