Notes 1. INTRODUCTION 1. The texts of these letters are reproduced in Dear Stevenson: Letters from Andrew Lang to Robert Louis Stevenson with Five Letters from Stevenson to Lang, edited by Marysa DeMoor (Leuven: Uitgeverij Peeters, 1990). 2. John Maynard, 'Broad Canvas, Narrow Perspective', in The Worlds of Victorian Fiction, edited by Jerome H. Buckley (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1975; Harvard English Studies 6), p. 238. 2. THE SCOTT LEGACY 1. Ian Jack, English Literature 1815-1832 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963.) 2. Allan Massie, 'Scott and the European Novel,' in Sir Walter Scott: The Long-Forgotten Melody, ed. Alan Bold (London: Vision Press, and Totowa, NJ: Barnes & Noble, 1983), p. 94. 3. Ibid., pp. 94-97. Massie reminds us that the French historian Augustin Thierry was not alone when he called Ivanhoe Scott's masterpiece, and added, 'Unless, I say, one can understand the feelings which these [medieval] novels and poems aroused, on cannot begin to measure or evaluate Scott or his influence.' 4. Nicholas Rance, The Historical Novel and Popular Politics in Nineteenth Century England (London: Vision Press, 1975), pp. 25-26. Rance thus characterizes the way in which the Victorians interpreted the history of some five centuries earlier: 'The Middle Ages in fiction were either absolutely remote from contemporary life, in the sense that modern ised heroes and heroines breathed a romantic 'period' atmosphere, or else, more cunningly, the concept of the enduring English-Saxon character, resistant to Norman and Stuart tyranny, endowed readers with the spirit of the free Saxons.' Carlyle and Froude recognized the fact of change, but did not understand the mechanisms of evolution that created Victorian society. -

For some reason, the coloured men who had been impressed by Government were not immediately paid oft'. They wanted to get away to their families, but they had to wait, and in the meantime, having nothing else to do, they drank. The streets were full of howling, reeling wretches. All order seemed gone. Horses were stolen in the most daring manner. If one, with a saddle andbridle, were left for a moment, whilst his owner turned his back, as likely as not he would be l!Ieized and carried oft'in broad daylight. Mr. Higgins, after getting back Wellington safe, nearly lost him thus j and would have lost him entirely, if, leaping on a horse without a saddle, that stood close by, he had not pursued and caught the robber. Others, less fortunate, lost their horses altogether. Numbers of families had to be sent to their desolated homes with government oxen-having lost all their own. Manywould not go, knowing that, without oxen to plough their land, it was of no use going to their farms. Men met me who told me that they had seen whole teams or individuals of a. team of their own oxen, marked with their bra.nd, in Boer waggons, bringing produce to the market, but they could not claim them j one man even showed me the oxen he spoke of. I met men who seemed crushed by the disaster atevery turn. Mr. -
