Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady of Latham: Being the Life and Original Letters of Charlotte De La Countess of Derby Why has Sir Walter Scott, that great painter of life and character, so completely failed in his portraiture of the Countess of Derby - the "Lady of Latham" as she is still called in the neighbourhood - who plays such a prominent part in his romance of Peveril of the Peak? How is it that, in addition to all the liberties he has taken with historical facts, he has made of this noble lady, as simple as she was heroic, a mere queen of melodrama? It must be because he only knew her by her exploits, and not her personal self at all. Into the depths of her heart he had never penetrated. But, strange to say, we are now enabled to do this.
