Blurb: “Scott’s Lady of the Lake, edited by Helen E. Bacon, is a beautifully presented 1910 edition of Sir Walter Scott’s classic narrative poem. Published by the American Book Company, this hardback volume was designed for educational use, complete with scholarly notes, vocabulary support, and contextual essays to guide young readers and students through Scott’s romanticized depiction of the Scottish Highlands.
This edition preserves the vivid storytelling and lyrical beauty of Scott’s original 1810 work, centered around love, loyalty, political conflict, and chivalry. Bacon’s careful editing provides readers with historical background, literary analysis, and thoughtful annotations, making the epic poem accessible without sacrificing its richness.
Bound in sturdy hardcover, this 1910 edition is a charming piece for collectors of vintage educational literature, admirers of classic poetry, and anyone interested in early 20th-century approaches to literary scholarship.”
