Book excerpt: This scholarly edition offers the first reliably identified collection of Walter Scott's original poetry in the Waverley Novels, the letters and the Journal. Past editors of Scott found it hard to recognise what is and is not quotation; but thanks to modern databases the poems in this volume have been identified as almost certainly his own.This collection demonstrates, again, Scott's brilliant versatility in the handling of verse forms and his extraordinary range of voice. The poetry of the Waverley Novels is often dramatic, being uttered or sung by one of the characters; mottoes at the heads of chapters stand in a critical relationship to the narrative; the poetry of the letters and Journal is often quizzical and self-mocking; and there are many superb parodies.As part of the 'meaning' of these poems lies in their context, this collection succinctly contextualises each one. It also provides full textual and explanatory annotation and an essay which explores, among other things, the wavering boundary between new creation and quotation.

Book excerpt: "When Sir Walter Scott had completed this poem of Marmion, in 1808, he foresaw that it would be a favorite with youth; and in the lines "To the Reader," at its conclusion, he specified the schoolboy in a passage, which shows his warm feeling, and his appreciation of the schoolboy's natural heart. To read Marmion is indeed a light and pleasant task." About the AuthorSir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish writer and poet, a born storyteller and master of dialogue, one of the greatest historical novelists. Scott's historical romances enlarged the technical repertoire of prose fiction, raised its cultural status, and bound it to modern publishing industry. Scott wrote a considerable part of "Marmion" when he was in quarters with the volunteer cavalry that he had helped to raise, 1797, against the imminent invasion of the French.Scott's influence is seen among others in the works of James Fenimore Cooper, Alexandre Dumas, and Aleksandr Pushkin.

Book excerpt: Edward is at ease in the family estate owned by his uncle, Sir Everard Waverley, who maintains the family's traditional Tory and Jacobite sympathies. He spends time with his parents as well, though less time after his mother dies when he is about 12 or 13 years old. His Whig father works for the Hanoverian government in nearby Westminster. Edward has a sense of his honour, but he starts life with no political affiliation. Edward is given a commission in the Hanoverian army by his father and posted to Dundee. After some military training, he takes leave to visit Baron Bradwardine, a friend of his uncle, and meets the peer's lovely daughter Rose.
