Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, Volume 2 (of 3) by Walter Scott
"Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Walter Scott is an anthology first published in 1802. This groundbreaking collection preserves legendary Scottish ballads like "Sir Patrick Spens" and "Thomas the Rhymer," gathering folklore from the Scottish borderlands through extensive field research. Scott collaborated with assistants to compile texts from manuscript collections and oral traditions, editing them for literary appeal rather than scholarly precision. The work sparked controversy for its
editorial approach but achieved extraordinary influence, shaping Scott's career and inspiring readers across Britain and Europe. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
