The Lady of the Lake by Walter Scott
"The Lady of the Lake" by Walter Scott is a narrative poem published in 1810. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it weaves together three intertwined plots: a romantic rivalry among three men vying for Ellen Douglas's love, a political feud between King James V and an exiled earl, and an brewing war between Lowland and Highland clans. Through six cantos spanning six days, Scott crafts a tale of love, loyalty, and conflict
that would spark the nineteenth-century Highland Revival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
