Credits Transcribed from the 1888 Cassell & Company edition by Sandra Laythorpe and David Price
Summary "Marmion: A Tale Of Flodden Field" by Sir Walter Scott is a narrative poem written during the early 19th century. The poem unfolds the story of Lord Marmion, a knight whose adventures and conflicts lead him into the heart of historical events, particularly the Battle of Flodden, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous Scottish-English relations of the time. Central to the narrative is Marmion himself, a character forged by his valor, ambitions, and the consequences of his actions, along with several other significant figures who play critical roles in the unfolding drama. The opening of "Marmion" introduces the reader to the grandeur and tension of the Scottish landscape, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. Lord Marmion arrives at Norham Castle, where he is joyfully received by his men, showcasing the camaraderie among his entourage. Introduced alongside Marmion is an air of suspicion and intensity, particularly as the enigmatic Palmer appears, seemingly foretelling doom and eliciting a sense of foreboding within Marmion. As the festivities commence, the contrasts between love, betrayal, and the weight of past deeds begin to emerge, setting a rich tone for the complexities of human emotions and the decisions that will inevitably lead to conflict and resolution as the story progresses.
