Sobre este artículo
Nice condition antique copy of "Kenilworth" by SIR WALTER SCOTT. Circa 1880's (there is no date of publication stated, but the year 1886 is written on the front end paper); DeWolfe, Fiske & Co.; Boston. This edition features an illustrated title page, a frontispiece (with tissue guard), and numerous full-page illustrations. There is a "Notes to Kenilworth" section and an "Index to Kenilworth" section at the back.
From a review: "Featuring sensual politics, plot twists, and murder, Sir Walter Scott's Kenilworth is a mesmerizing tale of love and deception. Written with vivid descriptions and beautiful prose, Kenilworth is part of Scott's beloved 'Waverley' series. With themes of selfishness, love, and ambition, Kenilworth is relatable and emotional. Through the depiction of prominent historical figures and landmarks, Sir Walter Scott shares rich English history with modern audiences."
Condition:
Clean covers and spine. Sharp cover corners. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. Nice interior - the pages are clean and nearly appear unread with only a tiny stain at the bottom edge of pages 300 & 301. The front end paper has a name/date (1886) written in pencil, and a rectangular strip has been neatly cut out at the top third of the page (perhaps to remove a name or an inscription that had been written on the page). Overall the book is in Very Good condition.
Sinopsis
Sir Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh in 1771. Educated for the law, he obtained the office of sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire in 1799 and in 1806 the office of clerk of session, a post whose duties he fulfilled for some twenty-five years. His lifelong interest in Scottish antiquity and the ballads which recorded Scottish history led him to try his hand at narrative poems of adventure and action. The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), Marmion (1808), and The Lady of the Lake (1810) made his reputation as one of the leading poets of his time. A novel, Waverley , which he had begun in 1805, was published anonymously in 1814. Subsequent novels appeared with the note “by the author of Waverley”; hence his novels often are called collectively “the Waverley novels.” Some of the most famous of these are Old Mortality (1816), Rob Roy (1817), Ivanhoe (1819), Kenilworth (1821), and Quentin Durward (1823). In recognition of his literary work Scott was made a baronet in 1819. During his last years he held various official positions and published biographies, editions of Swift and Dryden, tales, lyric poetry, and various studies of history and antiquity. He died in 1832.
