This book began with the case of Thomas Percy, and it seems therefore appropriate to conclude it with a figure who has a claim to be Percy’s principal successor as an imaginative recuperator of the medieval past, and whose presence will have been noted in several places earlier. In 1804, Walter Scott published his first edition of Sir Tristrem; a Metrical Romance of The Thirteenth Century; by Thomas of Erceldoune, called The Rhymer. Scott was not yet Sir Walter; nor was he yet the laird of the great estate of Abbotsford, which was still a farm nicknamed Clarty (i.e. ‘muddy’) Hole.
