Sir Walter Scott
(4,658 Sterne; 19 Bewertungen)
An aging minstrel seeks who hospitality at Newark Castle and in recompense tells a tale of a sixteenth-century Border feud. In the poem, Lady Margaret Scott of Buccleuch, the "Flower of Teviot" is beloved by Baron Henry of Cranstown an ally of the Ker Clan, but a deadly feud exists between the two border clans of Scott and Carr/Ker, which has resulted in the recent murder of Lady Margaret's father, Sir Walter Scott of Buccleuch by the Kers on the High Street in Edinburgh. Maragaret's widowed mother – Lady Janet – hates the Ker clan as a result, and is adamant in refusing her consent to any suggestion of marriage between the lovers. Summary by Wikipedia (2 hr 53 min)

AND LOVE IS STILL THE LORD OF ALL

No writer of heroic verse does a better job than Scott. This work, perhaps owing to its relative brevity, is easier to follow than some. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Tucker provided a very even narration; good job, thank you.

Excellent narration of an old favourite.
