Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was born in Edinburgh. Educated for the law, he obtained the office of sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire in 1799 and in 1806 the office of clerk of session, a post whose duties he fulfilled for some twenty-five years. His lifelong interest in Scottish antiquity and the ballads which recorded Scottish history led him to try his hand at narrative poems of adventure and action. The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), Marmion (1808), and The Lady of the Lake (1810) made his reputation as one of the leading poets of his time. A novel, Waverley, which he had begun in 1805, was published anonymously in 1814. Subsequent novels appeared with the note “by the author of Waverley”; hence his novels often are called collectively “the Waverley novels.” Some of the most famous of these are Old Mortality (1816), Rob Roy (1817), Ivanhoe (1819), Kenilworth (1821), and Quentin Durward (1823). In recognition of his literary work Scott was made a baronet in 1819. During his last years he held various official positions and published biographies, editions of Swift and Dryden, tales, lyric poetry, and various studies of history and antiquity.

Samenvatting

"A Legend of Montrose" is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, set in Scotland during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in the 1640s. The novel revolves around the military campaign of the Earl of Montrose on behalf of King Charles I against the Covenanters, who had sided with the English Parliament in the English Civil War. The main plot follows a love triangle involving Allan M'Aulay, his friend the Earl of Menteith, and Annot Lyle. Annot, who was captured during a blood feud and raised by the M'Aulays, eventually marries Menteith after her true lineage is discovered. This leads to jealousy and violence between M'Aulay and Menteith. A significant subplot features Dugald Dalgetty, a mercenary fighting for Montrose. Dalgetty, known for his love of violence and professionalism, brings a comic element to the story. However, Scott acknowledged that Dalgetty's character dominated the narrative excessively. Overall, "A Legend of Montrose" combines historical events with fictional storytelling, offering a vivid portrayal of Scotland's tumultuous past and exploring themes of love, loyalty, and political intrigue.
