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.\"\u003c\/i\u003e Sunday 20 November, 1825\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir Walter Scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281339855099,"sku":"9780862418281","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780862418281_20788826-ecfa-4981-aa1d-7497b40ec132.jpg?v=1772483242","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-journal-of-sir-walter-scott-9780862418281","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
