Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott was born in Scotland in 1771 and achieved international fame with his work. In 1813 he was offered the position of Poet Laureate, but turned it down. Scott mainly wrote poetry before trying his hand at novels. His first novel, Waverley, was published anonymously, as were many novels that he wrote later, despite the fact that his identity became widely known.

Rezensionen für Ivanhoe (Sir Walter Scott) (Literary Thoughts Edition)

[bkinetic_1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

It's full of intrigue, adventure, and romance. The two women speak thoughtfully and articulately at various points, while the men speak with their swords and lances.

Slow, difficult read.
