Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lyrics and Ballads of Sir Walter Scott The critic who would praise without reserve the poetry of Scott, has not only all the other critics against him, but has to reckon with Sir Walter himself. He frankly stated that he never cared much for his own poetry: he did not think it of sufficient excellence for his children to read, but regarded it as a 'light horse' kind of rhyme, fit for young men fond of adventure and of the open air. In his address to William Erskine, his friend and adviser, in the Preface to the Third Canto of Marmion, he speaks as all honest poets must speak to all such friends. These are continually asking a man not to be himself, not to do what heaven has given him the power of doing, but to attempt something else. Erskine wanted Scott to study the classics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems and Plays of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 of 2 The critic who would praise without reserve the poetry of Scott, has not only all the other critics against him, but has to reckon with Sir Walter himself. He frankly stated that he never cared much for his own poetry: he did not think it of sufficient excellence for his children to read, but regarded it as a "light horse" kind of rhyme, fit for young men fond of adventure and of the open air. In his address to William Erskine, his friend and adviser, in the Preface to the Third Canto of Marmion, he speaks as all honest poets must speak to all such friends. These are continually asking a man not to be himself, not to do what heaven has given him the power of doing, but to attempt something else. Erskine wanted Scott to study the classics. "Vos exemplaria Graeca Nocturna versate manu, versate diurna." He suggested topics: "Brunswick's venerable hearse," the "Red Cross Knight," or a revival of Tragedy, which Sir Walter, as enthusiastic for his friends' work as indifferent to his own, thought had been sufficiently revived by Miss Joanna Baillie. He himself was content to - "Ape the measure wild Of tales that charmed me as a child." He describes his early boyhood, the haunted towers he knew - "Methought that still with tramp and clang The gateway's broken arches rang... And ever, by the winter hearth. Old tales I heard of woe and mirth, Of lovers' sleights, of ladies' charms, Of witches' spells, and warriors' arms.' Scottish memories, all the hot-blooded past of the race, these were, these were to be, his topics. His manner was, and was to be, what heaven made it - "Though wild as cloud, ' as stream, as gale, Flow forth, flow unrestrained, my tale."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott: With the Author's Introductions and Notes In its preparation the standard text of Lockhart's Editions of 1833 and 1841 has been followed, but not without independent study of the author's meaning. And not without collation with the text as recently edited by careful scholars. The result has been the detection of a few obvious misprints in the longer poems, such as 'torch' for 'touch, ' 'rights' for 'rites, ' &c.; and the discovery of several this-references, and a good many omissions and mistakes of minor but not unin esting note, in the shorter pieces, more especially in the poetry n the Waverley Novels.
