'''Sir Walter Scott''' (1771-1832) was a Scottish poet and novelist, closely associated with English [[Romanticism]]. His novels, such as ''Ivanhoe'' and ''Waverley'', and his narrative poems, most famously ''The Lady of the Lake'', became famous during his own lifetime and ever since thanks to his careful historical reconstruction of the eras in which his stories were set, and to his incorporation of folklore and literary traditions from the people of Scotland and England. Today, Scott is often considered one of the three "greats" in 18th- and 19th-century Scottish literature (the others being [[Robert Burns]] and [[Robert Louis Stevenson]]).
