Book excerpt: Excerpt from Footsteps of Scott But if the range of genius is to delimit the Country of Sir Walter, not all the inspir ation of his own, his native land were sufficient for such a Master. True to the old moss-trooping traditions, we should find ourselves making sundry raids a cross the Border: into the central'england of Ivanhoe, for instance; into the Warwick shire of Kem'lworth - the richest of all the English counties in literary association; into the Derbyshire of Peveril of the Peak; into the Oxfordshire of W'oodstock, and the fascinating London of The Fortunes of Nigel. Nor would one omit the Welsh Borderland of The Betrothed, or the Isle of Man, where Julian Peveril Opened out his whole heart to the beautiful Alice Bridgenorth. Neither, from the stand point of our author's productiveness, does this terminate the scope of his Country.
