Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Lady of the Lake" by Walter Scott is a narrative poem first published in 1810. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it weaves together three dramatic plots: a romantic rivalry among three men vying for Ellen Douglas's love, a conflict between an exiled noble and King James V of Scotland, and a brewing war between Lowland and Highland forces. This influential work unfolds across six cantos, each capturing a single day's action in the wild Trossachs region, where love, loyalty, and ancient feuds collide.
