	Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor (1819) The Perfect Gothic Novel
		Despite the use of dialect, especially in the dialogue of Balderstone, vocabulary and cultural differences apparently did not interfere with contemporary English readers' understandings of the plot and characters.
		John Buchan contends that The Bride of Lammermoor is atypical of Scott's novels in that it ends tragically, with no hope for the future, its characters engulfed in a destiny beyond their control.
		The terrible darkness is only momentarily relieved by Caleb Balderstone's "raid" on the nearby village of Wolf's-hope in order to provision his master's castle for the unexpected reception of Sir William Ashton and his daughter.

	Welcome to LA Opera \| LA Opera
		Lucia di Lammermoor is, as the movie people say, "based on a true story." Walter Scott informs us in introducing his novel that he had heard the unfortunate tale of Miss Janet Dalrymple from connections very close to the actual bride's family.
		But ultimately Lucia di Lammermoor stands or falls not as a psychologically realistic portrayal of characters which were already pretty fanciful in Scott, but as a theatrical experience within the quite narrow bounds of what was permissible, or even imaginable in an Italian music drama circa 1835.
		In Scott’s book, as in the real-life story upon which it was based, the bride of Lammermoor utters but a single coherent sentence on her wedding night, in an antique and guttural Scots dialect she has never used before.

		But this distinction does not apply well to opera, in which the two languages are joined, and certainly not to Lucia di Lammermoor, one of whose achievements is to give madness—or that with which the language of literature is incommensurate—an articulate voice as well as a perspicuous body.
		What Herbert Lindenberger calls the “higher narrative” of The Bride of Lammermoor is the story of characters whose conflict and demise is determined by forces beyond the control of any one of them.
		For that is a reality, a singular one, to which neither Lucia di Lammermoor’s horizontal concept of reality nor The Bride of Lammermoor’s vertical concept can give a voice: the rest—Lucia's, Callas's, and ours—which is, as Hamlet might have reminded us, truly silence.

	Metroactive Stage \| Lucia di Lammermoor
		In Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, the title character succumbs to the pressures of both extremes in so preposterous and revolting a manner that the opera's renown centers as much upon Lucia's "mad scene" as it does on the memorable tunes the composer showers upon us.
		In terms of staging and design, this revival of Lucia di Lammermoor is at best competent and decidedly routine--more like a song recital with sets than a dramatic event.
		In short: Lord Enrico of Lammermoor Castle is beset with debt and wants his sister, Lucia, to marry the prosperous Lord Arturo Bucklaw.

		Donizetti chose the subject for his new opera himself, inspired by Sir Walter Scott's 1819 novel, The Bride of Lammermoor, which, in turn, was based on a true story of a Scottish girl forced to marry against her will.
		The Bride of Lammermoor is the fourth novel in Scott's rather chillingly named Tales of My Landlord series.
		Afterwards he claimed to have no memory of the actual writing and pronounced the tale "monstrous, gross, and grotesque." Despite all that or because of it, The Bride is the most closely knit of Scott's famous series and has a considerable tragic impetus, as well as an intensely political background.

		In a more or less customary way for Scott, the characters in The Bride of Lammermoor fall into two groups: the Master of Ravenswood and his followers or friends, chiefly Caleb Balderstone and the Marquis of A.; and the Ashton family and its adherents, principally Frank Hayston of Bucklaw, and his toadying "friend" Captain Craigengelt.
		These two parties, led, in the reader's interest, by Lucy Ashton and Edgar, the Master of Ravenswood, are at odds through much of the work, with the striking exception of Lucy and Edgar themselves, who fall in love.

		A story of immense, gloomy power, infused with unforgiving spirit and loneliness of the Scottish Isles, The Bride of Lammermoor's somber tone is relieved by the comic effect of Ravenswood's elderly butler, Caleb Baldertsone, and his increasingly desperate and ridiculous attempts to rehabilitate the family's name.
		Published in 1819 and 1824, respectively, these titles are typical of Scott's historical soap operas involving revenge, kidnapping, love, political turmoil, and what have you.

	Donizetti's 'Lucia di Lammermoor', reviewed by Maria Nockin
		The story of Gaetano Donizetti's opera Lucia di Lammermoor is taken from Sir Walter Scott's darkly romantic novel set in seventeenth century Scotland, The Bride of Lammermoor.
		The book was published in 1819 and at that time the author was at the height of his powers, but when asked about his recollections of writing it, he said he remembered nothing, possibly because he had been under the influence of laudanum.
		Luigi Rieschi's La Fidanzata di Lammermoor (1831) appeared in Trieste and Ivar Frederik Bredal's Bruden fra Lammermoor (1832) was seen in Copenhagen.
