Excerpt from The Great English Novelists, Vol. 2: With Introductory Essays and Notes
The methods adopted by the great writers who I preceded Scott were tentative and exmrimcntal Scott gave the modern novel its organic form. He endowed it with epic vigor, made it vivid with narrative lucidity, and gave it the form Of a history full Of keen characterization and dramatic impulse. In his hands it became an instru ment Of extraordinary flexibility, capable Of all moods. It superseded the drama as a mirror of life, and challenged poetry itself as an interpretation of the emotions. He determined its form, and all subsequent writers are his debtors, however far they may be removed from Scott in his peculiar gift Of romanticism.
