Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to refute the serious charges made and insinuations cast against the Ballantyne brothers after Sir Walter Scott's death. Drawing on evidence from previously unpublished documents and personal insights, the book seeks to restore the reputations of John and James Ballantyne, figures the author believes were unjustly vilified for their management of Scott's literary and business interests. The book goes beyond offering a surface-level defense of the accused men and instead deep dives into the complex financial relationships, literary projects, and personal circumstances that intertwined the three men in such a way as to ultimately cause ruin for all involved. In examining the tangled history of Sir Walter Scott's publishing ventures, personal finances, and land purchases, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the machinations of a literary icon as it shines light on the price paid by those in his orbit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331660507_0
