"The Lay of the Last Minstrel" (1805) is a long narrative poem by Walter Scott. ( It should not be confused with The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, also by Walter Scott, compiled three years previously.)
Scott had spent considerable time in compiling a collection of traditional ballads. He began The Lay of the Last Minstrel in 1802 and intended it as part of The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. Scott was kicked by a horse, while on maneuvers with his cavalry regiment. He worked on the first Canto while recuperating. When the Countess of Dalkeith suggested he include the local legend of the goblin Gilpin Horner in his original tale of Border rivalries, he realized it would be too long for The Minstrelsy, and decided to publish it as a separate work. It was eventually finished in 1804 and published in early 1805.

There is much fine and various verse, but the narrative framework is overly layered and lacks the straightforward movement which characterizes Scott at his best.Product details
