Book excerpt: Excerpt from Castle Dangerous, Vol. 2: Index and Glossary This interlude carried some confusion into the proceed ings of the hunt, thus suddenly surprised by the appari tion of Michael Turnbull, an armed and avowed follower of the House of Douglas, a sight so little to be expected in the territory where his master was held a rebel and a bandit, and where he himself must have been well known to most of the peasantry present. The circumstance made an obvious impression on the English chivalry. Sir J Ohn de Walton looked grave and thoughtful, ordered the hunters to be assembled on the spot, and directed his soldiers to commence a strict search among the persons who had attended the chase, so as to discover whether Turnbull had any companions among them; but it was too late to make that inquiry in the strict fashion which De Walton directed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Castle Dangerous by Walter Scott The story is set in Ayrshire and Lanarkshire around 1306, shortly after the death of William Wallace during the Wars of Scottish Independence. From Scott's introduction: "The incidents on which the ensuing Novel mainly turns, are derived from the ancient Metrical Chronicle of The Brace, by Archdeacon Barbour, and from the History of the Houses of Douglas and Angus, by David Hume of Godscroft; and are sustained by the immemorial tradition of the western parts of Scotland. They are so much in consonance with the spirit and manners of the troubled age to which they are referred, that I can see no reason for doubting their being founded in fact; the names, indeed, of numberless localities in the vicinity of Douglas Castle, appear to attest, beyond suspicion, many even of the smallest circumstances embraced in the story of Godscroft."

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Betrothed; Chronicles of the Canongate; The Highland Widow; The Talisman; Castle Dangerous The Tales of the Crusaders was determined upon as the title of the following series of these novels, rather by the advice of the few friends Whom death has now rendered still fewer, than by the Author's Own taste. Not but that he saw plainly enough the interest which might be excited by the very name of the Crusades; but he was conscious, at the same time, that that interest was of a character which it might be more easy to create than to satisfy, and that by the mention of so magnificent a subject each reader might be induced to call up to his imagination a sketch so extensive and so grand that it might not be in the power of the Author to fill it up, who would thus stand in the predicament of the dwarf bringing with him a standard to measure his own stature, and Showing himself, therefore, says Sterne, a dwarf more ways than one. It is a fact, if it were worth while to examine it, that the publisher and author, however much their general interests are the same, may be said to differ so far as title-pages are concerned; and it is a secret of the tale-telling art, if it could be termed a secret worth knowing, that a taking title, as it is called, best answers the purpose of the book-seller, Since it often goes far to cover his risk, and sells an edition not unfrequently before the public have well seen it. But the author ought to seek more permanent fame, and wish that his work, when its leaves are first cut Open, should be at least fairly judged of. Thus many of the best novelists have been anxious to give their works such titles as render it out of the reader's power to conjecture their contents, until they should have an opportunity of reading them. All this did not prevent the Tales of the Crusaders from being the title fixed on and the celebrated year of projects (1825) being the time of publication, an introduction was prefixed according to the humor of the day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Castle Dangerous To criticise "Castle Dangerous" is useless, and would be impious. Was never wight so stoutly made But Time and years will overthrow, as Major Bellenden sings. Not many words will suffice to tell, after Lockhart, the story of this unfortunate romance. Scott, before he began the tale, had suffered one paralytic shock after another. The insults to which he was subjected by the rabble at elections had aggravated his maladies. A "surgical experiment" was making him feel "like the Indian at the torture-stake." In June 1831 Lockhart went to London, on business, and, returning, found that Scott "had been gradually amending." But a morbid activity forbade him to give his brain any repose. He must write, or go mad. He began "Castle Dangerous," based on facts already recorded in his "Essay on Chivalry," in May or June, and finished it before the end of August. With Ballantyne he had broken - James, too, did "appropinque an end," their tempers and ideas clashed, and Scott, while telling Cadell about the new work, said nothing to his old ally. Ballantyne's criticisms on "Count Robert" had been such as he could not face again. He even thought of giving the book to another printer, but this severity was too much for his genial nature. He feared that he might have forgotten the scenery which he was to describe, and, on July 18, set out with Lockhart for Lanarkshire.
