Beschreibung

One expects fine things from John Buchan, but in Sir Walter Scott he has surpassed himself. As the London Times in a two-column review said: "The hour occasionally brings forth the book, and one of these fortunate occasions is that which sees Mr. John Buchan's long-matured study of Scott published in this year of his centenary. It would seem to be just the book needed to place Scott in his due proportions . . . he brings to his study just that trained historical imagination which by placing Scott accurately in his time and place shows us the real man in the comprehensiveness of his genius. From the delightful prelude which sets before us the physical and spiritual Edinburgh of 1771 down to the closing scenes of Scott's life, Mr. Buchan is always solicitous to fill in the background against which Scott's actions must be judged. . . Book is in as new condition, beautiful. Royal 8vo. 9-1/2" x 6-1/2". Top of text block stained red. 384 pp. including index. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 846
