Poets' Corner - Sir Walter Scott - The Lay Of The Last Minstrel
The Lay of the Last Minstrel. by Sir walter scott. To The Right HonourableCharles Earl of Dalkeith This Poem Is Inscribed By The Author. Preface.
http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/minstrel.html

Extractions: This Poem Is Inscribed By The Author. The Poem, now offered to the Public, is intended to illustrate the customs and manners which anciently prevailed on the Borders of England and Scotland. The inhabitants living in a state partly pastoral and partly warlike, and combining habits of constant depredation with the influence of a rude spririt of chivalry, were often engaged in scenes highly susceptible of poetical ornament. As the description of scenery and manners was more the object of the Author than a combined and regular narrative, the plan of the Ancient Metrical Romance was adopted, which allows greter latitude, in this respect, than would be consistent with the dignity of a regular Poem. The same model offered other faculties, as it permits an occasional alteration of measure, which, in some degree, authorizes the change of rhythm in the text. The machinery, also, adopted from popular belief, would have seemed puerile in a Poem which did not partake of the rudeness of the old Ballad, or Metrical Romance. For these reasons, the Poem was put into the mouth of an ancient Minstrel, the last of the race, who, as he is supposed to have survived the Revolution, might have caught somewhat of the refinement of modern poetry, without losing the simplicity of his original model. The date of the Tale itself is about the middle of the sixteenth century, when most of the personages actually flourished. The time occupied by the action is Three Nights and Three Days.

http://www.artsworld.com/books-film/biographies/s-u/walter-scott.html

Extractions: Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh in 1771, educated at the high school and university there, and admitted to the Scottish Bar in 1792. From 1799 until his death he was Sheriff of Selkirkshire, and from 1806-30 he held a well-paid office as a principal clerk to the Court of Session in Edinburgh, the supreme Scottish civil court. From 1805, too, Scott was secretly an investor in, and increasingly controller of, the printing and publishing businesses of his associates, the Ballantyne brothers. Crippling polio in infancy, conflict with his Calvinist lawyer father in adolescence, rejection by the woman he loved in his 20s and financial ruin in his 50s seem scarcely to have checked Scott's productive energy and personal warmth. His first literary efforts, in the late 1790s, were translations of German poems and plays, romantic and historical. In 1805 Scott's first considerable original work, 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel', launched a series of narrative poems that romanticised key incidents and settings of early Scottish history and brought him fame and fortune. In 1813, however, Scott declined the poet laureateship, recommending Southey instead, and turned towards fiction, devising a new form that was to dominate the early 19th-century novel. 'Waverley' (1814) and its successors draw on the social and cultural contrasts and the religious and political conflicts of recent Scottish history to examine the nature and the cost of political and cultural change and the relation between historical process and individual human beings. Many of the novels after 'Ivanhoe' (1819) extend their range to the England and Europe of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

When readers get to chapter 13 and discover that the wrecked steamboat Huck and Jim were stranded on was the Walter Scott, a similar statement might be appropriate: "You don't know about this, without you have read a book by the name of 'Life on the Mississippi,' and it does matter." Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish author who is credited with writing the first historical novel ( Waverly, 1814) and for popularizing romantic historical fiction with such books as Guy Mannering Rob Roy Ivanhoe (1819), and many others that became extremely popular in the American South of Twain's youth.

Melrose Abbey, Scotland
From a 19thcentury series by John Stoddard, this photograph of the ruins with a brief history and romantic description quoted from Sir walter scott.
http://osheamurphy.com/jls/melrose.html

Extractions: MELROSE ABBEY, SCOTLAND - The charm of this celebrated structure is proverbial and it well deserves its reputation. Its noble columns, windows and arches are of exquisite beaty and delicate carving, and justify this poetical yet accurate description of Sir Walter: "Thou wouldst have thought some fairy's hand, 'Twixt poplars straight, an osier wand, in many a freakish knot had twined; Then framed a spell when the work was done, And changed the willow wreaths to stone." This magnificent Abbey was built by King David I., in the twelfth century, and many of the monarchs of Scotland were buried here. Here is also deposited the heart of Robert Bruce. So durable is the red sandstone in which they are chiselled that the most delicately- sculptured capitals and flowers are still perfect, save where the hand of man has injured them. Yes, the "hand of man," for the mere lapse of time would not have caused such overthrow as this. Alas! It has been almost univerally the fact that man himself has shattered the most exquisite and wonderful structures which human genius has been able to create. So was it here. Again and again contending armies plundered it, and finally the Scotch Reformers did even more injury to its remaining statues and carving than had been effected by the ravages of war! The sight of this ruined pile at moonlight can never be forgotten and imparts forevermore a new charm to the well-known lines of Scott: "If thou wouldst view fair Melrose aright, Go visit it by the pale moonlight, When buttress and buttress alternately Seemed framed of ebony and ivory; And home returning, soothly swear, Was never scene so sad and fair."
