The Antiquary

"The Antiquary" (1816) is Sir Walter Scott's self proclaimed best novel. Set in Scotland during the late 18th century, this tale follows the mysterious Mr. William Lovel and the various relationships that shape and transform his life in Scotland. Considered Scott's only gothic novel, «The Antiquary» is replete with a fantastic grittiness that is unseen in his «Ivanhoe» (1819).

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was the first English-language author in literary history to have international success during his actual lifetime. His works were celebrated in North America, Australia and Europe. Born in Edinburgh, Scott lived a rather sequestered childhood, stricken with polio and sent to live on his grandparents farm.

Kenilworth

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a novelist, playwright and poet who enjoyed international fame during his lifetime. As a child, Scott was a voracious reader and loved listening to tales and legends of his native Scotland, which accounts for his later collections and publication of Scottish ballads. He developed the reputation as a historical novelist with the 1814 publication of «Waverly»; in fact, he was virtually responsible with the creation of the historical novel genre. Kenilworth is a...

One of Sir Walter Scott’s most popular and influential works, “Ivanhoe” is the story of one of the last remaining Saxon noble families. At the beginning of the novel we find its titular character, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, who has been disinherited by his father for his allegiance to the Norman king, Richard the Lionheart, and for falling in love with the Lady Rowena, returning from the Third Crusade. Wilfred’s father, Cedric, had planned to marry Lady Rowena to the powerful Lord Athelstane, in...

Amid the heat of a tournament, King Richard comes to the aid of another Crusader who has returned in disguise. Wilfred of Ivanhoe also seeks to recover a lost heritage — and the hand of Lady Rowena, «a rose of loveliness, and a jewel of...
