Sir Walter Scott - Selected Poems

Sir Walter Scott – Selected Poems (1992, ed. James Reed, Carcanet)
Sold proudly by Crappy Old Books – where the pages are slightly yellowed and the wisdom still shines.

A stirring selection of verse from the bard of the Borders, this Carcanet edition brings together some of Sir Walter Scott’s most enduring and evocative poetry. Edited with insight and affection by James Reed, this 1992 collection offers both the rousing ballads and romantic narratives that made Scott a literary legend. Expect gallant knights, haunted glens, and a touch of melancholy – all wrapped in meter tight enough to march to.

Sure, it’s been kicking around since the early ’90s and might smell faintly of someone’s attic – but this is poetry worth dusting off. Whether you’re a diehard Scott fan or just here for some noble rhymes and eerie Scottish landscapes, this volume won’t disappoint (unless you were expecting Twilight).
