Lockhart is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on significant events in the life of renowned Scottish poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott during the years 1812 to 1813, detailing both his personal experiences and literary contributions. The book illustrates the various dimensions of Scott's life, including his ambitious move to Abbotsford, his relationships with contemporaneous literary figures, and the ongoing development of his poetic works. The opening of this volume presents a vivid portrayal of Scott's relocation from Ashestiel to Abbotsford, emphasizing the affection the local community had for him and his wife, who had been generous benefactors. This move marks a new chapter in Scott's life, filled with industriousness as he juggles multiple literary projects alongside managing his new estate. Correspondence with friends and literary colleagues, including insights into his ongoing works like "Rokeby" and "The Bridal of Triermain," demonstrate not only Scott's commitment to literature but also his deep connections with the artistic community of his time. The narrative is rich with anecdotes and personal reflections that set the tone for the complexities of both his professional and personal life as a leading literary figure of the era.
