ISBN10: 0862418283, ISBN13: 9780862418281, [publisher: Canongate Books, Edinburgh] Softcover Paperback. "I have all my life regretted that I did not keep a regular (journal). I have myself lost recollection of much that was interesting and I have deprived my family and the public of some curious information by not carrying this resolution into effect." Sunday 20 November, 1825With these words Scott began what many regard as his greatest work, a diary which was to turn into an extraordinary day-to-day account of the last six years of his life, years of financial ruin, bereavement, and increasing ill health. As he laboured to pay off debts of over 120,000, Scott emerges, not simply as a great writer, but as an almost heroic figure whose generosity and even temper shine through at all times.This edition presents a complete edited text and notes drawing on a wealth of other material including correspondence, reminiscences and the memoirs of Scott's contemporaries. It remains one of the standards by which Scott scholarship is judged. 'No Scotchman of his time was more entirely Scottish than Walter Scott.' Thomas Carlyle Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
