Contents:PrefaceChapter I - Ancestry, Childhood, Youth, First Love, MarriageChapter Ii - Early Married Life, Ballad Collecting, Lay Of The Last Minstrel, MarmionChapter Iii - Quarterly Review, Lady Of The Lake, Rokeby, Ballantyne AffairsChapter Iv - The Waverley NovelsChapter V - Guy Mannering To KenilworthChapter Vi - Novels, Financial Ruin, DeathConclusionThis book is annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
