	Walter Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1771, the son of a Scottish solicitor of limited means, the young Walter Scott survived a childhood bout of polio that would leave him lame in his right leg for the rest of his life.
		Scott then became an ardent volunteer in the yeomanry and on one of his "raids" he met at Gilsland Spa Margaret Charlotte Charpentier (or Charpenter), daughter of Jean Charpentier of Lyon in France who he married in 1797.
		Scott was also responsible, through a series of pseudonymous letters published in the Edinburgh Weekly News in 1826, for retaining the right of Scottish banks to issue their own banknotes, which is reflected to this day by his continued appearance on the front of all notes issued by the Bank of Scotland.

	Sir Walter Scott
		SCOTT, (SIR) WALTER, baronet, a distinguished poet and novelist, was born in Edinburgh, August 15, 1771.
		Sir Walter’s father was grandson to a younger son of Scott of Raeburn, a branch of the ancient baronial house of Harden; and his mother was grand-daughter to Sir John Swinton, of Swinton, in Berwickshire.
		Sir Walter Scott had now apparently attained a degree of human greatness, such as rarely falls to the lot of literary men; and he was generally considered as having, by prudence, fairly negatived the evils to which the whole class are almost proverbially subject.

		Scott, Sir Walter (1771-1832), Scottish novelist and poet, whose work as a translator, editor, biographer, and critic, together with his novels and poems, made him one of the most prominent figures in English romanticism.
		Scott's declining popularity as a poet, in part caused by the competition of Lord Byron, led him to turn to the novel.
		Scott was entangled with the printing firm of James Ballantyne and the publishing house of Archibald Constable, which both failed in the economic crisis of 1826.

	Malaspina Great Books - Sir Walter Scott (1771)
		Scott's preparation for painting the life of past times was probably much less unconsciously such than his equally thorough preparation for acting as the painter of Scottish manners and character in all grades of society.
		But a friend of Scott's, Sir John Stoddart, had met Coleridge in Malta, and had carried home in his memory enough of the unfinished poem to convey to Scott that its metre was the very metre of which he had been in search.
		Scott's trust in Rigdumfunnidos and his brother, "Aldiborontiphoscopbornio," and in his own power to supply all their deficiencies, is as strange a piece of infatuation as any that ever formed a theme for romance or tragedy.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Thomas Carlyle: On Sir Walter Scott, 1838
		Sir Walter Scott's first literary enterprise was a translation of Gotz von Berlichingen: and, if genius could be communicated like instruction, we might call this work of Goethe's the prime cause of Marmion and the Lady of the Lake, with all that has followed from the same creative hand.
		Walter Scott became Sir Walter Scott, Baronet, of Abbotsford; on whom Fortune seemed to pour her whole cornucopia of wealth, honour and worldly goods; the favourite of Princes and of Peasants, and all intermediate men.
		Scott's career, of writing impromptu novels to buy farms with, was not of a kind to terminate voluntarily, but to accelerate itself more and more; and one sees not to what wise goal it could, in any case, have led him.

		Sir Walter used to say that his father had lost no small part of a very flourishing business, by insisting that his clients should do their duty to their own people better than they were themselves at all inclined to do it.
		Scott's school reputation was one of irregular ability; he ``glanced like a meteor from one end of the class to the other,'' and received more praise for his interpretation of the spirit of his authors than for his knowledge of their language.
		Scott's amusements at Ashestiel, besides riding, in which he was fearless to rashness, and coursing, which was the chief form of sporting in the neighbourhood, comprehended ``burning the water,'' as salmon-spearing by torchlight was called, in the course of which he got many a ducking.

		Scott was a diligent and dutiful lawyer, but his legal career never progressed further than this and in his old age he would often regret he had not made his mark in this area.
		Scott was forced rescued John Ballantyne and Co. on pain of having his commercial involvement made public, something he considered tantamount to social suicide.
		Scott had been indulging his Laird fantasy with money advanced for work that he had promised but not delivered and his publisher Constable and Co. and his printer, Ballantyne and Co. funded these advances with their own reckless borrowing.

		Walter Scott was born on 15th August 1771 in the Old Town of Edinburgh.
		But the process was exhausting: so was the pace of Scott's life, and his appetite for money, which led him to the serious mistake of quietly buying a stake in both his printer and his publisher.
		Scott's influence is not just in fiction: painting and opera are only two of the creative arts where his scenes and characters are much reproduced, and the whole picture of what Scotland is, and was, came to be heavily derived from Scott's work.
