Marmion: A Tale Of Flodden Field: A Romantic Epic of Knights, Betrayal, and the Tragic Glory of the 1513 Anglo-Scottish War - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field is Scott's grand verse romance of ambition, deception, and national catastrophe, set against the Anglo-Scottish conflict culminating in the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Through the flawed figure of Lord Marmion, the wronged Clara de Clare, and the imprisoned Constance, Scott fuses chivalric melodrama with antiquarian detail and martial spectacle. Its six-canto structure, framed by epistolary introductions, places medieval romance within the Romantic revival of national history. Walter Scott, already renowned for The Lay of the Last Minstrel, drew on his deep knowledge of Border ballads, Scottish legal antiquities, and oral tradition. As an Edinburgh advocate and collector of historical memory, he transformed archival and folkloric material into literature that helped shape modern historical imagination. Marmion reflects both his patriotism and his awareness that glory is often inseparable from moral failure and political ruin. This poem is recommended to readers interested in Romantic poetry, historical fiction before the novel's dominance, and the literary construction of Scotland's past. Its famous battle scenes, moral drama, and richly textured medievalism reward attentive reading, offering not merely pageantry but a meditation on honor, guilt, and the tragic costs of national pride.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 'Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field,' Walter Scott weaves a rich tapestry of historical fiction, intertwining romance, valor, and the profound implications of war. Set against the backdrop of the 1513 Battle of Flodden, the narrative follows the tale of Sir Marmion, a knight whose deceitful quest for love and honor leads him into a web of betrayal and tragedy. Scott's evocative use of verse and prose exemplifies the Romantic literary style, blending vivid descriptions, emotional depth, and a captivating exploration of heroism and folly, thus reflecting the heightened national consciousness of early 19th-century Britain, when the past served as a lens through which to understand contemporary identity. Walter Scott, a pivotal figure in Scottish literature, drew from his own heritage while crafting 'Marmion.' His deep-rooted fascination with Scottish history and culture, along with a keen sense of the turbulent political landscape of his time, enriched his storytelling. Having successfully popularized the historical novel genre, Scott's experiences as a borderer and his commitment to preserving the Scottish canon profoundly influenced his narrative and thematic choices in this work. I wholeheartedly recommend 'Marmion' to readers who seek a profound engagement with history through a poetic lens. The novel not only entertains but also challenges the reader to contemplate themes of honor, betrayal, and national identity, making it an essential read for those interested in the complexities of the human experience in the context of historical events. 144 pp. Englisch.
