Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Graphic Art Consciousness of Sir Walter Scott: Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, 1916
In several passages of the writings of Sir Walter Scott are found statements disclaiming technical knowledge of graphic art. This paper is the record of an investigation made to dis cover Whether there is not evidence to be set over against Scott's personal disclaimer, evidence either showing that the great nov elist knew more of the principles of graphic art than his humility allowed him to own,1 or indicating the possession on his part of instinctive perception in artistic matters of which he was actually' unaware. I shall not anticipate the discussion which is to follow; further than to say that the first hypothesis seems the more ten able of the two.
