About the Author
Born in Edinburgh, Scott practised as a lawyer and published epic narrative verses to great acclaim. He began writing novels to escape dire financial straits – the result of unfortunate business alliances and, later, the prodigious cost of his baronial seat Abbotsford, which is now a major literary museum. His introduction of fictional characters into carefully researched settings from the past founded an entirely new genre: the historical novel. A brilliant storyteller and master of dialogue, his novels revived interest in Scotland’s past and promoted its stunning landscape. A fervent campaigner for the retention of Scottish banknotes, Scott’s influence is still felt today.
