Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a prolific Scottish poet and
historical novelist who was one of the most popular romantic
novelists of the nineteenth century. After studying law at
Edinburgh University, Scott first started writing at the age of 25.
Having made his name as a poet, he wrote the phenomenally
successful novel Waverley in 1814 and was made a baronet in 1820.
These volumes, first published in 1827, contain Scott's detailed
biography of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Including a detailed
review of the French Revolution, Scott focuses on Napoleon's legacy
to France and his military genius, purposefully remaining
non-partisan and discussing Napoleon's life and achievements
without bias. The result of extensive research and correspondence
with Napoleon's surviving colleagues, these volumes were extremely
successful and remain valuable for the study of Napoleon's life and
changing public reaction. Volume 3 covers Napoleon's childhood and
military career until 1797.
