Sir Walter Scott, born on August 15, 1771, in Edinburgh, Scotland, remains a towering figure in the canon of English literature. He was a prolific writer of poetry and historical novels, and his contributions have significantly influenced both literary form and the popular view of Scottish identity. Scott's early fame as a poet culminated in the collection 'The Complete Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott' which showcases his command over verse and his keen interest in folklore and history (Scott, 1900). His narrative poems, such as 'The Lady of the Lake' and 'Marmion', celebrated the Scottish landscape and history, blending romance with adventure and steering public taste towards Romanticism. Scott's transition to the novel with 'Waverley' established the genre of the historical novel, enthralling readers with its deep-rooted portrayal of social change and personal struggle (Scott, 1814). His literary style, characterized by vivid storytelling, detailed character development, and a blend of romance with realism, has immortalized his works in the literary tradition. Scott's writings not only encapsulate the ethos of his native Scotland but also reflect the vibrant crosscurrents of 19th-century literature. He was honored with a baronetcy in 1820, in recognition of his literary contributions, becoming Sir Walter Scott, the first-ever to be a writer. He passed away on September 21, 1832, leaving behind a legacy that endures in the rich tapestry of English literature.
