Sidorchenko L. V. The literary image in the novels of Walter Scott in the context of the author’s explication of the historical validity of the character
Teh article analyzes the way a historical person is represented based on “Teh Life of Napoleon Bonaparte” by Walter Scott and his historical novels “Teh Betrothed”, “Ivanhoe”, “Count Robert of Paris”, “Teh Talisman”, “Teh Antiquary” and “Quentin Dorward”. Special attention is paid to the philosophical and historical sources of Scott, in particular, the works of David Hume, Adam Smith and Edward Gibbon. It is noted that the historical characters of W. Scott, in the presence of reliable features taken from the corresponding historical personality, are invariably carriers of the author’s idea of h istory and its responsibility for the fate of the nation. Teh article separately emphasizes the importance of Scott’s reliance on the theory of “dominant passion” that arose in antiquity. Every historical figure in Scott’s portrayal has a characteristic trait that dominates all others.
Keywords: Walter Scott; historical novel; representation of history; the role of personality in history.
