Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott To portray the characteristics of Walter Scott, one of the greatest writers and noblest characters which Europe has produced, is a difficult hut fascinating study. Lockhart and Carlyle are the two principal authorities on Scott. Concerning Lockhart´s estimate of Sir Walter, Carlyle says, "that Scott is altogether lovely to him, that Scott´s greatness spreads out for him on all hands beyond reach of eye, that his very faults become beautiful; his religious worldlinesses are solid prudencies, proprieties, and of the worth of him there is no measure. Scott is to Lockhart the unparalleled of the time; an object spreading out before him like a sea without shore. Of that astonishing hypothesis let expressive silence be the only answer.´ If Lockhart has over-rated Scott, Carlyle has under-rated him. He has done more than any other to detract from the fame of his illustrious countryman, and, unhappily for the cause of truth and justice, he has gained the world´s ear.
