DRAWN WITH MASTER HAND
Walter Scof's Portraits of the Past a
Notable Contribution to Eng
lish Literature. I
No wonder that Waller Scott, who,
bavins shown the world In the Min
strelsy and the I.ny that he was ed
itor and poet, and being himself a
novel reader, should he utterly dissat
isfied with the quality of the existing
supply. The French Involution, dis
tinguished hy its leveling principle and
action, had ended in substituting a
feudal empire fur an effete monarchy;
and even when .Napoleon was redlvld
I inn Kurnpe into kingdoms and princi
palities for his family and his follow
j ers, there had sprung up—or rather
i revived—a deep devotion to the chiv
| airy which had done so much In the
past, and whose traditions had in
-'r :tcd grace into history and breathed
| reality into song.
To this feeling, this principle, Scott
had ministered in bis poems; and now,
acknowledged head of the romantic
school, he resolved to extend its lim
its, beyond the ballad to the narrative
poem and use prose Tis the more suit'
j able, medium. He strove to delineate
| the past as it seemed in the eyes of
j men who were dubious of the present
j and nfrtild of the future—noble, state
l ly, glittering and gay, with the pulse of
j life ever beating to heroic measures,
i His view of feudalism In "The Talis
man," 'Tvanhoe" and "The Fair Maid
of Perth" was not the caricature a
few preceding authors had drawn, but
a portrait—faithful,_ if idealized.—
