The lady of the lake av Sir Walter Scott

 

"The Lady of the Lake" (1810) is a narrative poem set in the vicinity of Loch Katrine, in the Trossach region of Scotland. It is made up of six cantos, each focusing on one day. There’s three main plots to this poem: a competition between three men for the love of one Ellen Douglas, a feud between James Douglas and King James V, and a war between lowland and highland Scots. This poem was incredibly influential at the time of its publication and inspired the Highland Revival movement.

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish writer, poet, and historian. A jurist by formation, he was also judge, and an active member of the Highland Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. He also played a major role in bringing the Sturm und Drang literary movement to the United Kingdom, both through translations, but also through his own creations. He wrote numerous well-known historical novels, including "Waverley," "Rob Roy," and "Ivanhoe," which have inspired countless authors ever since.

Bokomslag och beskrivning av bokens handling hämtad från Storytel

När jag såg att Cursed TV-serien med Kathrine Langford trailer på Netflix, och kom på att det var en serie jag vile se, ville jag även ha koll på bakgrundshistorien och då jag hittade denna som ljudbok på Storytel så bestämde jag mig för att lyssna på den, sen kanske det inte var ett så bra val, för lite mera gammal klassisk engelsk poesi kanske inte är dt bästa att lyssna på, så jag har inte några större minnen över vad den handlade om tyvärr.
