Longer Poems Available as E-Texts
Follow the links below for online texts of Scott's book-length
narrative poems made available by external sites. Only freely available
texts have been listed. In most cases, the link will take you directly
to the text. In others, it will direct you to a clickable list
of the Scott texts published by the provider.
Where known, we have indicated the source edition for the e-text.
Most providers, however, do not supply this information. For information
on the provider and a full list of the Scott texts that they have
made available online, see E-Texts by Provider.
The list of texts should not be regarded as comprehensive, but
the page editor would
be pleased to hear of any significant omissions. For further information
on the poems themselves, see Works.
Of Scott's narrative poems, only Harold the Dauntless does
not currently appear to be available online.
This page also lists substantial extracts from Scott's narrative
poems. For shorter, self-contained lyrics extracted from Scott's
