Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters, Archaeological and Historical, Vol. 2: Relating to the Isle of Wight Christendom.´ We see in the pages of Scott´s novel the big head, rickety legs, goggle eyes, and slobbering tongue of the ungainly son of the beautiful Mary Queen of Scots, dressed up in his quilted clothes. With all an artist´s skill Sir Walter sets before us the King´s gabble and rhodomontade, want of personal dignity, vulgar buffoonery, coarseness, pedantry, and contemptible cowardice. At the same time he does not let us forget that under this ridiculous exterior lay a man of much natural ability, a fair scholar, a learned theologian, with considerable shrewdness, mother wit, and ready repartee.
