اس ای بک کے بارے میں
Perhaps the finest and certainly the most readable of Scott's Waverley novels, Old Mortality is a swift-moving historical romance that pits an anachronistically liberal hero against the forces of fanaticism in seventeenth-century Scotland - the period notorious as "the killing time." Its central character, Henry Morton, finds himself torn between his love for a royalist's granddaughter and his loyalty to his oppressed countrymen. (Goodreads)
مصنف کے بارے میں
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a towering figure in the world of literature, whose works have left an indelible mark on the Romantic era and beyond. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Scott's early life was marked by a battle with polio, which left him with a permanent limp but did little to dampen his adventurous spirit. He initially pursued a career in law but soon found his true calling in the realm of letters.Scott's literary contributions are vast and varied, encompassing poetry, historical novels, and essays. He is often credited with pioneering the historical novel, a genre that blends historical fact with fiction, thereby bringing the past to life in a way that was both educational and entertaining. His works, such as "Ivanhoe" and "Rob Roy," are celebrated for their vivid characterizations and intricate plots, which often explore themes of chivalry, honor, and national identity.A man of many talents, Scott was also a keen antiquarian and collector of Scottish folklore, which heavily influenced his writing. His deep love for Scotland and its history is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to evoke the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape.Scott's influence on contemporary writers cannot be overstated. Authors like James Fenimore Cooper and Alexandre Dumas drew inspiration from his narrative style and thematic focus. However, Scott was not without his controversies. Critics have debated his romanticized portrayal of historical events and his conservative political views, which often permeated his work.Despite these debates, Scott's legacy as a literary innovator and cultural icon remains unchallenged. His ability to weave history and fiction together has left a lasting impact, making him a perennial favorite among readers and scholars alike.
