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.
Grand roman historique. Le Talisman (1825) nous plonge au cœur du XIIe siècle. à la fin de la Troisième Croisade. Deux nobles chefs s’affrontent en terre de Palestine : Richard Cœur de Lion et le sultan kurde Saladin, passé maître dans l’art du déguisement. Le roi anglais est affaibli par la maladie, mais aussi par les complots orchestrés par le maître de l’ordre des Templiers. Dans ce contexte sensible, Kenneth, dit le chevalier au Léopard, est chargé d’approcher un mystérieux ermite afin d’éclaircir son rôle auprès des Sarrasins. Pour cet Ecossais d’origine modeste, la mission est aussi risquée qu’inespérée. Il y voit l’occasion de prouver sa valeur au souverain, dont il aime éperdument la cousine, l’inaccessible Edith de Plantagenêt. Une cause à faire triompher, une belle à conquérir, des intrigues à déjouer, des combats singuliers à mener : tous ces ingrédients savamment dosés font du Talisman un captivant roman de chevalerie. Et les portraits qu’il dresse - sans manichéisme aucun - de l’Orient et de l’Occident trouvent aujourd’hui de singulières résonances.
Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is.
