Synopsis
Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Six Lectures on the Modern English Novel
Scott as Artist. Scott was a great but a very careless and imperfect artist. His stories are not perfect in structure I never could lay down a plan - or, having laid it down, I never could adhere to it. Lacking in the perfect evolution of plot, Scott has to untie knots in tedious explanation. In the rounding-up of the stories, the happy endings of the idealist, Scott was conventional. Great art does not end well; cf. Shakspere's romantic tragedies. In mere language Scott has nothing of the distinction of the great master of style. Scott is, nevertheless, the Scottish Shakspere. He is like Shakspere in the activity of his characters, the movement of his incident, in mastery of the great motives of life, in power to fill the dusty stages of history with their living drama. What Shakspere did for the play, Scott did for the novel; he extended its scope and established its dignity. As a literary form he brought it near its ultimate destiny as the great artistic expression of modern life.
Illustrations. The lantern photographs will show the chief scenes of Scott's life and work in Edinburgh, Lasswade, Abbotsford, etc., and include a large series of portraits and statues.
