Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales and Verses From Sir Walter Scott It is a significant fact that the present year, 1914, is the centenary of the publication of "Waverley," herald of all the brilliant novels so soon to follow. This rounding out of the century may well witness the publication of hosts of magazine articles and books, all paying homage to the mighty Scott, whose name is still one to conjure with, who is still the "Wizard of the North." That the youth of the twentieth century may have his part in this renewed interest in Sir Walter Scott, the compilers offer this little volume to the pupils of the upper grammar grades and to students in the first years of the high school. Scott´s place as an author is secure. There is no need to urge his claim by citing at this time that "in the vivid description of natural scenery he is without a rival"; that "he can describe a battle with a vividness unequalled by any poet since Homer"; or that "his pictures will live in English literature beside Shakespeare´s. These are truisms which the world has long conceded. As for the man, Scott, no one is dearer or more human in English literature. His uprightness of soul, delicate sense of honor, purity, and sweet friendliness may well make him an ideal to the boy or girl.
