Sir Walter Scott is the great poet of the Scottish people, their
history and land, yet he wrote at a time when Scottish culture and
landscapes were changing rapidly under English pressure.
Introducing this selection, James Reed, an authority on ballads and
the Border tradition, sets Scott in context as both a European
Romantic and a Scottish folk poet. He also illuminates the
political and cultural context of his work. This selection, which
includes early love poems, songs from the novels, landscape poems
from "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" and "The Lady of the Lake", and
the complete narrative poems "William and Helen" and "Marmion",
reveals Scott as a poet who speaks for a people. The selection
contains notes on the text, suggestions for further reading and a
glossary.
