Scott was the first British novelist to discover in landscape a
literary as well as a pictoral medium, an insight which he exploits
to powerful effect in his Scottish novels. Mr Reed's book breaks
new ground by demonstrating the originality of Scott's landscapes,
in which romantic nature takes its place in a realistic context of
people, history, architecture and traditions. The author shows how,
as poet and novelist, Scott explores the notion of place to a depth
where it operates not merely as dramatic background but as a force
which shapes and directs the minds of its inhabitants. This study
adds a new dimension to the understanding of Scott's work.
This collection of poems rooted in the wild and beautiful lands
that lie between England and Scotland describes a traditionally
lawless area whose inhabitants owed allegiance first to kin and
laird and then to the authorities in London or Edinburgh. Recording
a violent, clannish world of fierce hatreds and passionate
loyalties, the ballads tell vivid tales of raids, feuds and
betrayals, romances and acts of revenge.
