description: Regarded by many as Scott's greatest work, this diary gives an extraordinary day-to-day account of the last six years of his life, years of financial ruin, bereavement, and increasing ill health. Scott emerges, not simply as a great writer, but as an almost heroic figure whose generosity and even temper shine through at all times.
