Book Description
Excerpt from The Law and Lawyers of Sir Walter Scott: An Address Delivered to the Law Associatior of Philadelphia on March 6, 1906 Walter Scott occupies a unique position in literature. His fame rests on his poems and novels, but he was also an historian, an antiquarian, a lawyer, a judge and a clerk of the highest Court in Scotland. No less a man than Emerson said that Scott, in the number and variety of his characters, approached Shakespeare, and Scott's flatterers were fond of making a closer comparison, but Scott, himself, with the natural modesty of a Scotchman, and the true self appreciation of a genius, said he was not fit to tie Shakespeare's brogues. He surely could not have written Hamlet, nor indeed could he have written Rabbi ben Ezra, nor yet, In Memoriam; but the Lady of the Lake, Marmion and the Lay of the Last Minstrel, with their smooth verse and charming ballads, have never been equalled. His novels are wonderful. No writer has produced so much that is so uniformly good. He hits the gold every time. Stevenson, no mean critic, called him, "out and away the king of the Romantics" and "the best of novelties," but maintains that Scott was wrong in his history, and picks the Lady of the Lake and Guy Mannering to tatters, for their "bad English, bad style, and abominably bad narrative." Macaulay, on the other hand, was amazed by Scott's skilful use of history in his novels. "Scott has used," says Macaulay, "those fragments of truth which historians have scornfully thrown behind them, in a manner which may well excite their envy.
