Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist and poet who is most famous for writing Ivanhoe(1820), a novel about a complicated romance in 12th-century England. Scott is the father of both the regional and historical novels.
It was Scott who said, "what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!"
