Scott’s Marmion: A Tale Of Flodden Field, In Six Cantos is a historical narrative poem written by Scottish author Walter Scott and published in 1808. The poem tells the story of the Battle of Flodden Field, which took place in 1513 between the armies of England and Scotland. The main character of the poem is Lord Marmion, a fictional knight who serves King Henry VIII of England. Marmion is sent to Scotland to retrieve a book of magic spells from a convent, but he falls in love with a Scottish noblewoman named Clara de Clare. The poem explores themes of love, war, honor, and betrayal, and features vivid descriptions of medieval life and battle scenes. The book is divided into six cantos, each containing several stanzas of rhyming verse. The poem was highly popular during its time, and helped establish Scott as one of the leading literary figures of the Romantic era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
