Written immediately after Scott’s death and reissued for his centenary in 1871, this memoir follows him from his parentage and boyhood in the Borders through school, university, the law, soldiering, poetry, the Waverley novels and the financial ruin he worked to repay. Notes on Abbotsford complete the book.
