Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Passages From Froissart "Did you ever read Froissart?" inquired Claverhouse of Morton, as the two were riding side by side, in courteous colloquy though the latter was Claverhouse´s prisoner. "´No, was Morton´s answer. ´I have half a mind,´ said Claverhouse, ´to contrive you should have six months´ imprisonment, in order to procure you that pleasure. His chapters inspire me with more enthusiasm than even poetry itself.´ "Thus speaks Sir Walter Scott through the lips of the ruthless enemy of the Covenanters; - and Michelet calls Froissart the Scott of the Fourteenth Century. There is a pleasure in bringing together the two great names - in making Scott, as it were, smile encouragement on this attempt to popularise once more the great writer who, five hundred years ago, showed so much of Scott´s own temper and spirit, so very much of Scott´s gift as a narrator and marshaller of stirring events. Jean Froissart first saw the light in Hainault, at Valenciennes, a city of no mean pretensions in the fourteenth century, and boasting a brisk trade, and commercial relations extending even so far as London. The exact date of his birth is not known, but probably the event occurred somewhere towards the end of the year 1337 or 1338.
