Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) is one of the best-loved Scottish
writers. Beginning with a series of poetry collections and
nonfiction works, Scott quickly became known as a rising force in
British letters. But it was with the publication of Waverley
(1814), the first of a series of sixteen bestselling historical
novels known collectively as the Waverley novels, that the writer
established himself as a literary icon. Such works as Guy
Mannering, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe, and Kenilworth, among many others, are
still widely read today, and have never been out-of-print. S.
Fowler Wright here provides a definitive biography of the writer
and the man, showing how his antecedents in Scotland colored all of
his later work, and following the rapid rise of his reputation--and
the simultaneous onset of the financial troubles that plagued his
later years. A masterful portrait of a great (and still vital) poet
and novelist.
