I started reading Ivanhoe by Walter Scott. Excited to see if the book lives up to the reputation that precedes it. #literature #walterscott

He will outlast us, churning out his books,
advocate and historian, his prose
earning him Abbotsford with its borrowed gates,
its cheap mementos from the land he made…

Why weep ye by the tide, ladie?
Why weep ye by the tide?
I’ll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye sall be his bride…

“The first stanza of this ballad is ancient. The others were written for Mr Campbell’s ALBYN’S ANTHOLOGY”

“There is no writer can touch Sir Walter Scott”: Joyce and the Wizard of the North

“According to Joyce’s brother Stanislaus, the Irish writer “couldn’t stand” the Scot’s work. Be that as it may, Joyce kept a copy of The Bride of Lammermoor in his Trieste library and, in 1924, Joyce memorised 500 lines of The Lady of the Lake while recovering after one of his many eye operations.”

Prisons, Graveyards, Battlefields: Scott(ish) Traumascapes

A recent talk for the Scotland HUB, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz. Silvia Mergenthal asks whether the concept of the traumascape can usefully be applied to some of the settings of what is arguably the bleakest, as well as the most violent, of Scott’s Scottish novels, The Tale of Old Mortality (1816): its prisons, graveyards & battlefields
