Sir Walter Scott: A Lecture at the Sorbonne: Restored Classics to Go Edition

Delivered at the Sorbonne in 1919 as part of the Conférences Louis Liard series, this lecture by William Paton Ker offers a learned and admiring study of Sir Walter Scott. Rather than telling a story, it reflects on Scott's enduring literary importance, placing his work within a rich world where history, character, and national identity are closely bound together. Framed by an international academic setting, the text reads as both criticism and tribute, inviting readers into a thoughtful examination of Scott's legacy and the cultural force of his writing. It will especially appeal to those interested in literary history, scholarly appreciation, and the lasting significance of one of literature's great historical imaginations.
