Walter Scott and the Border Minstrelsy is a book written by Andrew Lang that explores the life and work of the Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Scott was a key figure in the Romantic movement and is known for his contributions to Scottish literature, particularly his collection of ballads known as the Border Minstrelsy. Lang examines Scott's upbringing, education, and literary career, as well as his interest in Scottish folklore and his role in preserving traditional Scottish ballads. The book also includes a selection of Scott's poetry and ballads, providing readers with a comprehensive look at his work. Overall, Walter Scott and the Border Minstrelsy is a fascinating look at one of Scotland's most beloved authors and his contributions to literature and folklore.As to the character of Sir Walter Scott, I have proved, I hope, that he worked on a copy of the ballad which was not the Elliot version, or the Sharpe copy; so that this copy may have represented the Scotts as taking the leading part; while for the reasons given, it is apparently earlier than the Elliot version--cannot, at least, be proved to be later--and is topographically the more correct of the two. I have given antique examples of the same sort of perversions in Otterburn. If I am right, Colonel Elliot's charge against Scott lacks its base.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Collected together by Andrew Land they are sourced from a number of different countries and were translated by Lang's wife and other translators who also retold many of the tales.

First published in 1910, The Lilac Fairy Bookis the final volume in this series

Shakespeare, Bacon and the Great Unknown is a classic Shakespeare studies text by Andrew Lang. The theory that Francis Bacon was, in the main, the author of "Shakespeare's plays," has now been for fifty years before the learned world. Its advocates have met with less support than they had reason to expect. Their methods, their logic, and their hypotheses closely resemble those applied by many British and foreign scholars to Homer; and by critics of the very Highest School to Holy Writ. Yet the Baconian theory is universally rejected in England by the professors and historians of English literature.

The chief purpose of the supernatural study, The Book of Dreams and Ghosts is, if fortune helps, to entertain people interested in the kind of narratives here collected. For the sake of orderly arrangement, the stories are classed in different grades, as they advance from the normal and familiar to the undeniably startling. At the same time an account of the current theories of Apparitions is offered, in language as free from technicalities as possible. According to modern opinion every "ghost" is a "hallucination," a false perception, the perception of something which is not present.

Namely, Certain Chronicles Of Pantouflia, As Notably The Adventures Of Prigio, Prince Of That Country, And Of His Son, Ricardo, With An Excerpt From The Annals Of Scotland, As Touching Ker Of Fairnilee, His Sojourn With The Queen Of Faery.

Ballads in Blue China is a classic English poetry collection by Andrew Lang. Thirty years have passed, like a watch in the night, since the earlier of the two sets of verses here reprinted, Ballades in Blue China, was published. At first there were but twenty-two Ballades; ten more were added later. They appeared in a little white vellum wrapper, with a little blue Chinese singer copied from a porcelain jar; and the frontispiece was a little design by an etcher now famous.
