Walter Scott
Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist and poet born in Edinburgh, lamed by polio as a child. He published his novels anonymously for years, invented the historical novel as a form, and wrote himself out of a printing-house bankruptcy that would have ruined most men. His works include Waverley, Peveril of the Peak, Rob Roy, and Ivanhoe.
