| | SIR WALTER SCOTT - LoveToKnow Article on SIR WALTER SCOTT |
 | | Scotts trust in Rigdumfunnidos and his brother, Aldiborontiphoscopbornio, and in his own power to supply all their deficiencies, is as strange a piece of infatuation as any that ever formed a theme for romance or tragedy. | | | In this criticism of himself Scott replied lightly to some of the familiar objections to his work, such as the feebleness of his heroes, Waverley, Bertram, Lovel, and the melodramatic character of some of his scenes and characters. | | | But as a matter of fact Scotts romantic characters are vitalized, clothed with a verisimilitude of life, out of the authors deep, wide and discriminating knowledge of realities, and his observation of actual life was colored by ideals derived from romance. |

| | Walter Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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 published a number of other poems over the next ten years, including the popular The Lady of the Lake, printed in 1810 and set in the Trossachs. |

| | Scott, Sir Walter. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 |
| | 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. | | | 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). | | | Ivanhoe (1820), Scott’s first prose reconstruction of a time long past, is a complicated romance set in 12th-century England. |

| | 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. |

| | Border Clan Scott - History and Genealogy |
| | Scott instantly offered him the estate of Murdiestoun by way of excambion; when the bargain was completed, he drily observed that the Curberland cattle were as good as those of Teviotdale, and proceeded to commence a system of reprisals upon the English which was regularly pursued by his successors. | | | Walter was a child of three when the murder of his grandfather made him heir to the vast possessions of the family. | | | Sir Walter Scott was himself principal Chamberlain, and in 1603 obtained letters of horning against Sir William stewart of Traquair for :93, 6s, 8d., part of a tax raised for the baptism of the prince. |

| | Modern History Sourcebook: Thomas Carlyle: On Sir Walter Scott, 1838 |
| | 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. |

| | The Wreck of the Walter Scott in Huckleberry Finn |
| | Twain's most critical statements about Sir Walter Scott come in chapter 46 where he discusses the Mardi-Gras festival as a romantic relic of French and Spanish colonialism, a legacy he thought should have died out under the influence of the ideals of "liberty, humanity, and progress" embodied in the French Revolution. | | | In the next chapter he returns to Scott's influence on Southern literature more generally to argue that Southern authors "write for the past, not the present; they use obsolete forms and dead language." Here again, Scott was keeping the South locked in a romanticized past. | | | Mark Twain's observations about Scott are in the section of Life on the Mississippi recording the trip he made on the river in 1882 to gather new material to turn his Atlantic Monthly series on "Old Times on the Mississippi" into a book. |

| | A central, and very successful, strategy is to create a "Scott hero", and make him (it is usually him) experience events which are largely verifiable history, indeed meet real historical characters, while the central "Scott hero" remains pure fiction. | | | Since the hero is often an outsider, it is necessary to explain everything to him, scenery, history, speech: in this way the outsider/reader can understand too and have battle scenes (like Prestonpans in | | | Scott's influence is not just in fiction: painting and opera are only two of the creative arts where his scenes and characters are much reproduced, and the whole picture of what Scotland is, and was, came to be heavily derived from Scott's work. |

| | In printing this New Edition of the Waverley Novels, the Publishers have availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded them of carefully collating it with the valuable interleaved copy in their possession, containing the Author's latest manuscript corrections and notes; and from this source they have obtained several annotations of considerable interest, never before published. | | | The Author of Waverley was so persuaded of the truth of this, that he warmly pressed his brother to make such an experiment, and willingly undertook all the trouble of correcting and superintending the press. | | | Scott had determined to represent his youthful acquaintance as emigrating to America, and encountering the dangers and hardships of the New World, with the same dauntless spirit which he had displayed when a boy in his native country. |
