Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Edinburgh during Sir Walter Scott's lifetime, bringing to life a vibrant city rich in literary and social history. The author describes the city of Scott's youth, with its medieval buildings and narrow streets, and charts its rapid expansion into the elegant Georgian New Town.

The book explores Scott's own life and career within this stimulating environment, shedding light on the influences that shaped his work and the friendships that enriched it. Ultimately, this book offers a vivid portrait of a remarkable city at a time when it was a hub of intellectual and literary achievement, providing valuable insights into the life and work of one of its most famous sons.
