by Sir Walter Scott

Overview

The story of the secret, tragic marriage of Amy Robsart, daughter of Sir Hugh Robsart, to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and Robsart's eventual death. While much of the novel is a true telling of the events at Elizabethan court, some dramatic elements are a product of Scott's imagination.

About the Author

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, (15 August 1771 - 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet. Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.
