Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Buchan brings to his study just that trained historical imagination which by planning Scott accurately in his time and place shows us the real man in the comprehensiveness of his genius.--Times Literary Supplement

The almost inspired literary criticisms of Sir Walter Scott show Buchan at his best.--Oxford Dictionary of National Biography

Reseña del editor:

Buchan vividly and affectionately describes the writer whose novels and poems made him the most popular author of his day. Scott was born in 1771 to a powerful Border family. Buchan is eminently qualified to write with sympathy about his Scottish upbringing, disappointment in love and decline into illness and bankruptcy. His feeling for Scott’s novels brings them alive and provide a deeper understanding of such major works as ‘Ivanhoe’ and ‘Waverley’.
