Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Sir Walter Scott Lockharts´s Life of Sir Walter Scott is and will always remain the magazine from which the material for the great novelist´s biography must be drawn. The Familiar Letters and the Journal have of late years been published separately and in detail, and numerous more or less eminent writers - Hogg, Chambers, Gillies, to name but these - have contributed each his mite of information. It cannot be pretended that many new or important facts have been added to those Lockhart collected. His work, indeed, is an English classic, and is one of the best biographies in the language. It is very long and done on a scale suited to a more leisurely age than ours, but no rash attempt is here made to supersede it. This is a briefer story for the readers of to-day. Each time has its own fashion of regarding the great men of the past, and its own criticism on their works. Hence this brief modern Life of Scott. The chapter on Scott as a Lawyer has been written by Mr. Francis Watt, of the Middle Temple. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
