Summary
Scott is best known now for his historical novels, a genre he more or less invented, such as Ivanhoe and Rob Roy, but he was once equally celebrated as a poet, mainly for longer tales such as The Lady of the Lake and ballads such as the one presented here. Much interested in contemporary German literature, he translated many German poems, such as Goethe’s “Erlkönig” (p. x).
