Sir Walter Scott

About the Author

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) developed the historical novel genre. Born in Edinburgh, he was fascinated by the border country and devoted much of his writing to the subject of Scotland and her heroes. In fact, he established the Bannatyne Club, which regenerated interest in timeworn Scottish documents. Among his famous works are Ivanhoe and Waverley.
