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

Quentin Durward, jeune noble écossais, débarque en France sous le règne de Louis XI après la mort de sa famille, survenue lors d'une bataille qui a réduit son village en ruines. Il entre, en qualité d'archer, au service du roi, dans la garde écossaise de ce dernier. Louis XI va lui confier la mission d'accompagner une jeune demoiselle, de bonne famille, et sa tante vers, l'évêché de Liège. Quentin va déjouer bien des complots, faire preuve de courage, de bravoure, d'intelligence et d'à propos, enfin être un parfait chevalier. Il va aussi trouver l'amour... Ce roman nous permet de connaitre, un peu, le caractère de ce roi, plein de contradictions, et fin politique.
