The Bridal of Trierman and Harold the Dauntless

Walter Scott

Verlag: Archibald Constable, Edinburgh, 1819

Beschreibung

Two romantic poems by Sir Walter Scott. Fourth edition. The Bridal of Triermain celebrates the exploits of a knight errant - Sir Roland De Vaux - as he seeks to rescue (and hopefully espouse) a beautiful maiden, Gyneth. Gyneth is the illegitimate daughter of King Arthur: doomed by Merlin 500 years previously to an enchanted sleep inside a magic castle. Harold the Dauntless recounts the exploits and the personal spiritual journey of a doubtful knight errant - Harold the son of Danish Count Witikind: who seeks to recover his lands and wed a suitable spouse. Scott described it as "a strange, rude story". It was largely inspired by the Old Norse sagas, with which his library was well stocked. In a half-calf binding. Externally sound, though rubbed, with some bumping. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, though with some scattered spotting throughout. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LTH19-F-6
