Description
1855 Lady of the Lake Walter Scott Scottish Highlands Romance Scotland Gilbert
“My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.”
– Sir Walter Scott, Lady in the Lake
“Lady in the Lake” is Sir Walter Scotts renowned romantic poem about love and honor amidst a bitter rivalry between King James V and the powerful Douglas clan of the Scottish Highlands. It is considered by critics to be "the most interesting, romantic, picturesque, and graceful" of Scotts works, as well as the most read.
The Lady of the Lake marked the height of Scotts popularity as a poet. 25,000 copies sold in eight months, it broke all records for the sale of poetry, and Scotts fame spread beyond Great Britain to the United States. This 1855 edition is illustrated by John Gilbert.
