"Sir Walter Scott" by Richard H. Hutton is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life, ancestry, and literary contributions of Sir Walter Scott, the eminent Scottish poet and novelist known for his historical novels and poems. Hutton draws heavily from Lockhart's extensive biography while offering insights into Scott's character, family background, and the rich Scottish history that influenced his work. The opening of this biography introduces readers to Sir Walter Scott's lineage, highlighting his connection to a distinguished line of clan leaders and historical figures. The narrative describes his childhood experiences, including a significant incident of injury that led to a lifelong lameness and his subsequent upbringing in a rural setting. It paints a vivid picture of the environment and relationships that shaped Scott's early character, detailing the influential roles of his parents and the idyllic Scottish landscape that would later inspire much of his poetic and narrative style. This portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Scott’s formative years and the societal factors that forged his literary genius. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 58.5 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
