Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet FRSE, was a Scottish poet, writer, publisher and literary critic. He was one of the most widely read authors of his time – not only in Europe – and is traditionally considered the founder of the historical novel. Many of his historical novels have become classics and have served as models for numerous plays, operas and films.
