"We have come," writes Alan Bold in his introduction to this book, "to expect artists to be anguished figures who achieve artistically impeccable works at the expense of their emotional stability; think of Dostoyevsky, Joyce, Hemingway. Scott does not fit into this pattern. He was stunningly successful: by the time he was 43 he had been called to the Bar, helped found a Volunteer regiment, been appointed Sheriff of Selkirkshire, etc.

About Andrew Mahinay
Join me in my never ending book search. Totally ecstatic to find a jewel in the pile. My library is slowly running out of space. We probably have the same predicament.
