Autoren-Porträt von Walter Scott
Walter Scott (1771 - 1832) was a Scottish writer, poet, and historian. Fascinated by traditional storytelling, during the 1790s Scott dedicated himself to researching and collecting ballads and published the epic collection 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border' in 1802. A prominent poet, Scott also wrote and published a range of poems, including the popular 'The Lady of the Lake.' His first historical novel 'Waverley' was published in 1814, whereupon it was an immediate success, receiving critical acclaim and selling out many printings. His best-known work 'Ivanhoe' followed in 1820. Scott died in 1832 at the age of 61. He was commemorated after his death with monuments in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and New York due to his impact on western literature. His literary works influenced and inspired many other great authors such as Virginia Woolf. Internationally renowned, Scott's literary legacy continues to be felt all over the world to this day.
