Scott, Walter: De to kvægdrivere [Danish] v1. 05 Mar 2023

Walter Scott (15. august 1771 i Edinburgh, Skotland – 21. september 1832 i Abbotsford, Skotland) var en skotsk forfatter, lyriker og historiker. Han var fascineret af skotsk historie og folklore og indsamlede folkesange; han udgav sammen med en ven en samling af sidstnævnte fra 1802. I de følgende år udgav Scott en række samlinger af bl. Jonathan Swift og John Dryden, oversættelser af udenlandsk lyrik, samt en del episke digte (fx. The Lady of the Lake) Hans første historiske roman Waverley udkom i 1814 og blev en omgående succes både hos kritikere og publikum, og blev efterfulgt af flere, fortrinsvis udgivet under pseudonymet "Forfatteren til Waverley", hvor emnerne ofte er hentet i Skotlands dramatiske historie. Hans mest vedvarende success var og er Ivanhoe om den forskudte søn af en gammel ridderslægt og hans splittelse mellem jødinden Rebecca og efterkommeren af den gamle saksiske kongeslægt lady Rowena.

Walter Scott blev adlet i 1820 som sir Walter Scott, baronet af Abbotsford.

Om bogen
To kvægdrivere, højlænderen Robin Oig M'Combich og hans ven, yorkshiremanden Harry Wakefield, rager uklar over græsningsretten til en eng.

Harry udfordrer Robin til at afgøre tvisten med en nævekamp på engelsk manér, men Robin vil hellere gå rettens vej eller slås efter Højlandets skikke med sværd. Harry slår ham i gulvet, og glemmer derefter det hele. Det skulle han imidlertid ikke have gjort, for en højlænders ære fornærmer man ikke ustraffet.
