About the book

Domestic Manners and Private Life of Sir Walter Scott offers an intimate portrait of the celebrated Scottish novelist and poet away from his public literary reputation. Through personal recollections and observations, the book reveals Scott's habits, hospitality, family relationships and everyday life. Particular attention is given to Abbotsford, the remarkable home Scott created in the Scottish Borders. The work provides a more personal view of the author of Waverley and Ivanhoe, showing the man behind one of the most influential literary careers of the nineteenth century.
