Autorenporträt
Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, and playwright, whose works are classics of both the English-language literature and Scottish literature. Born in Edinburgh, Scott was trained as a lawyer, but his passion lay in the folklore and the ballads of the Scottish Border country. His inclination towards these subjects was evident in his first published work, 'The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border' (1802), which was a collection of Scottish ballads. Scott's deep engagement with the tales of historical figures and events from Scotland and England resulted in him reviving the literary form of the historical novel, which he elevated with a rich vein of romanticism and vivid narrative. Among his most celebrated poetic works is 'The Lady of the Lake' (1810), a narrative poem set in the Trossachs region of Scotland. He is also famous for other major poems such as 'Marmion' (1808) and 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel' (1805), which further established his reputation as a leading poet of his time. Through his poetry and his novels, Scott crafted an intricate tapestry of the Scottish identity and contributed greatly to the Romantic movement. His work would have an enduring impact on literature, influencing countless writers and poets long after his passing.
