No wonder that people call Sir Walter Scott the father of English
literature. After all, it was this genius author who became one of the first
ones to write in the genre of the historical novel. The manuscripts of the
gifted literary master made an impact on the work of many
writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is said that Walter Scott's books
were translated in numerous countries with the speed of light. The
Englishman's novel, written in 1829, in 1930 was
already read aloud in
elite circles of aristocratic ladies and gentlemen.
Walter Scott was brought up in the family of a Scottish professional
lawyer, Walter Scott. Noble clients often turned to the head of the family
for legal assistance, but Walter Sr. was modest and meek, that is why he
did not manage to make a fortune. The writer's mother, Anne
Rutherford, was the daughter of an eminent Professor of medicine, who
worked at the University of Edinburgh. Anne was
a modest well-read
woman who adored antics and historical novels. She was able to pass
these qualities to her son as well.
One cannot say that the future novelist had a happy childhood. An
unexpected illness poisoned the existence of the little boy. The thing is
that when Walter was
one and a half years old, he was diagnosed with
children's paralysis, so throughout his childhood years, the kid was
desperately fighting for life. In the years 1775-1777 Walter was
treated
at the resorts and stayed at the farm of his grandfather (where young
Scott first became acquainted with folk epos and folklore). But this
unexpected disease reminded Walter of itself throughout his life, for the
4
great writer always remained lame (he lost mobility of his right leg).
In 1778, the young man returned to his native Edinburgh and began
attending primary school. Walter was not enthusiastic about the lessons;
the future writer especially did not like complex algebraic formulas. But
it is worth noting that Scott grew up a phenomenal child: even at the age
of five he already read the ancient Greek works
of Homer and could
easily recite memorized ballads.
Throughout his life, Walter was engaged in self-education, and the
school bench did not leave a considerable mark on the author's
knowledge. After all, even the literary detective,
Conan
Doyle
used to say that the human brain was
an empty attic where
one could stuff anything. The fool does exactly so: piles up both
necessary and needless things there.
