By the close of the nineteenth century, the works of Sir Walter
Scott (1771-1832) could be found on the bookshelves of every
respectable Victorian. Public interest was such that, nearly sixty
years after his death, there remained considerable demand for new
insights into the man and his milieu. First published in 1890, his
two-volume journal for the period 1825-32 immediately attracted
press attention. One review observed that 'it shows us the man in
prosperity and in adversity, now delightfully humorous ... now
saddened by the financial troubles which came upon his later
years'. Notwithstanding his money worries, Scott's final decade was
not without literary achievement. Volume 2 comprises entries from
July 1827 to April 1832, during which time Scott published The Fair
Maid of Perth (1828) and Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft
(1830).
