Sir Walter Scott was a master of diverse talents. He was a man of letters, a dedicated historian and historiographer, a well-read translator of foreign texts, and a talented poet. Deriving most of his material from his native Scotland, its history and its legends, Scott invented and mastered what we know today as the historical novel. Quentin Durward is Scott_s first European novel. The central character is a young adventurer and soldier of the Scottish guards seeking fame and fortune in the France of Louis XI.
