Marmion: A Tale Of Flodden Field
Marmion, published in 1808, is Walter Scott's second long narrative poem, set in the weeks before the battle of Flodden in 1513. Lord Marmion, a favorite of Henry VIII, rides north as envoy to the Scottish court; behind him lie a forged accusation that ruined his rival De Wilton and a discarded mistress, Constance de Beverley, who is tried and walled up alive by her convent. The six cantos move from Norham Castle to Lindisfarne, a Border inn, the Scottish camp, Holyrood and the battlefield, where Marmion's guilt and courage meet. Each canto opens with a verse epistle to a friend. This Cassell's National Library edition of 1888 has an introduction by Henry Morley. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
