Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. BLACK COVER, GOLD PRINT FRONT AND SPINE. FORMER OWNERS NAME IN FRONT, 5 LINES PENCIL NOTES INSIDE BACK COVER. A FEW PENCIL NOTES THROUGHOUT, PAGE 39 HAS A 3" RIP. VERY NICE ARTWORK THROUGHOUT. Sir Walter Scott, (15 August 1771 21 September 1832), was a Scottish novelist, poet, playwright and historian…. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Waverley, Old Mortality, The Heart of Mid-Lothian and The Bride of Lammermoor, and the narrative poems The Lady of the Lake and Marmion. He had a major impact on European and American literature. The Lady of the Lake is a narrative poem by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1810. Set in the Trossachs region of Scotland, it is composed of six cantos, each of which concerns the action of a single day. There are voluminous antiquarian notes. The poem has three main plots: the contest among three men, Roderick Dhu, James Fitz-James, and Malcolm Graeme, to win the love of Ellen Douglas; the feud and reconciliation of King James V of Scotland and James Douglas; and a war between the Lowland Scots.
