Synopsis

Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake is a classic poem that was first published in 1810. The poem is set in the Scottish Highlands during the reign of James V and tells the story of a young knight named James Fitz-James, who is on a mission to capture the outlawed Scottish chief, Roderick Dhu. Along the way, Fitz-James falls in love with the beautiful Ellen Douglas, known as the Lady of the Lake, who is caught up in the conflict between the Scottish clans. The poem is divided into six cantos, each containing a series of stanzas. The language is rich and poetic, with vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape, battles, and courtly love. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, reflecting the political and social tensions of the time. Scott's The Lady of the Lake was widely popular in its time and helped to establish him as one of the leading literary figures of the Romantic era. The poem has since become a classic of Scottish literature and has been adapted into various forms, including operas, plays, and films. This 1903 edition of the poem includes illustrations by Frederick Simpson Coburn, which add an extra layer of beauty to the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
