Buchan vividly and affectionately describes the writer whose novels and poems made him the most popular author of his day.
Scott was born in 1771 to a powerful Border family. Buchan is qualified to write with sympathy about his Scottish upbringing, disappointment in love and decline into illness and bankruptcy. His feeling for Scott’s novels brings them alive for us and provides a deeper understanding of such major works as Ivanhoe and Waverley.
‘Buchan brings to his study just that trained historical imagination which by planning Scott accurately in his time and place shows us the real man in the comprehensiveness of his genius’. – Times Literary Supplement
‘The almost inspired literary criticisms of Sir Walter Scott show Buchan at his best.’ – Dictionary of National Biography
