{"product_id":"2940000741900","title":"The Journal of Sir Walter Scott from the Original Manuscript at Abbottsford","description":"Both volumes in a single file. The Preface begins: \"On the death of Sir Walter Scott in 1832, his entire literary remains were placed at the disposal of his son-in-law, Mr. John Gibson Lockhart. Among these remains were two volumes of a Journal which had been kept by Sir Walter from 1825 to 1832. Mr. Lockhart made large use of this Journal in his admirable life of his father-in-law. Writing, however, so short a time after Scott's death, he could not use it so freely as he might have wished, and, according to his own statement, it was \"by regard for the feelings of living persons\" that he both omitted and\u003cbr\u003ealtered; and indeed he printed no chapter of the Diary in full.  There is no longer any reason why the Journal should not be published in its entirety...\" According to Wikipedia: \"Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771 -  1832) was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet popular throughout Europe during his time. In some ways Scott was the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his lifetime, with many contemporary readers all over 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.\"  ","brand":"B\u0026R Samizdat Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144161280240,"sku":"2940000741900","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940000741900_p0.jpg?v=1763544815","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940000741900","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
