Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

I'd like to dedicate the Scott section of the Victorian Web to an inspiring teacher and Scott devotee, Professor Roger Bishop of the University of Victoria, for it was he that lured me into the study of the nineteenth-century novel and inspired me to read many of Scott's novels. — Philip V. Allingham
