Longer Poems and Anthologies Available as E-Texts
Follow the links below for online texts of Scott's book-length
narrative poems and of anthologies published during Scott's lifetime. 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.
Since this page was inaugurated, a large number of Scott etexts have been made available by the Internet Archive and Google Books. Rather than maintain a full listing of these, we have listed only the earliest edition (in many cases the First Edition) supplied by these providers.
The list of texts should not be regarded as comprehensive, but
the page editor would
be pleased to hear of significant omissions. For further information
on the poems themselves, see Works.
This page also lists substantial extracts from Scott's narrative
poems. For shorter, self-contained lyrics extracted from Scott's
longer poems, click here.
