About this Item

A first edition of Johnson's biography of Sir Walter Scott. Complete in two volumes. With a number of photographs and illustrations in each. Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, (15 August 1771 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright, and poet. Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia, and North America. His novels and poetry are still read, and many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor.
