Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey

by Washington Irving

This book chronicles Washington Irving's journeys to Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, and Newstead Abbey, the former residence of Lord Byron. Through his personal observations and interactions with those connected to these renowned figures, Irving offers a unique glimpse into the lives and legacies of two literary giants. He details the architectural and historical significance of their estates, providing insights into the cultural landscape of 19th-century England and Scotland. Irving's accounts are not merely descriptions of places but also reflections on the enduring impact of Scott and Byron on the literary world and their time.
