Talking About Scott - Hardback Book: £15.75 NEW 

A celebration of the centenary of The Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club

Edited by Ian Campbell & Peter Garside. Introduction by Peter Garside.

Sleeve notes: In this "talking book", a dozen Presidents of The Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club voice their varied delight in Scotland's greatest writer, whom V.S.Pritchett calls "the single Shakespearian talent of the English novel". The time-span of the talks, from 1929 to 1990, has seen Scott reassert his power to entrance. "Slow books come back," Betjeman once wrote, "and I try to forget our jerky modern novels. I re-read Scott."

Here Harold Macmillan advises Prime Ministers "in really hard time" to "shut themselves in the sitting-room at No. 10" and "escape from colleagues" in the pages of The Antiquary. For Allan Massie, "War and Peace is inconceivable without the example of Scott." David Daiches, steering between tradition and progress, chooses the dismissive "Pshaw!" at the close of Redgauntlet as the moment when "The modern world has taken control." Lord Cameron wishes that "some of our young men today would learn from Paulus Pleydell how to watch a witness under cross-examination and never let him go." Jo Grimand says: "Scott was a Tory. He would have been horrified by the subservience of Scotland to London."
