Dalziel Brothers - Sir Walter Scott - The Talisman - Sir Kenneth Before The King
Dalziel, Dalzell or Dalyell ( ) is a Scotland, Scottish surname. Pronunciation The unintuitive spelling of the name is due to it being an anglicisation of Scottish Gaelic language, Scottish Gaelic ''Dail-gheal'', meaning bright dale. The sound now spelled with a or is historically a lenited slender , which in Gaelic is pronounced [j] (like English ). The English/Scots language, Scots form of the name was originally spelled with a yogh () as ''Dalȝiel''; this was later replaced with either a , the letter of the modern alphabet which most looks like yogh, or a , which more closely represents the sound. History The name originates from the former Scottish feudal barony, barony of Dalzell House, Dalzell in Lanarkshire, in the area now occupied by Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Motherwell. The name Dalzell is first recorded in 1259, and Thomas de Dalzell fought at Battle of Bannockburn, Bannockburn. The Dalzell lands were forfeited later in the 14th century, but regained through ma ...

Sir Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832), was a Scottish novelist, poet, playwright and historian. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels '' Ivanhoe'', '' Rob Roy'', ''Waverley'', ''Old Mortality'', '' The Heart of Mid-Lothian'' and ''The Bride of Lammermoor'', and the narrative poems '' The Lady of the Lake'' and '' Marmion''.

The Betrothed (Scott Novel)
''The Betrothed'' (1825) is one of the Waverley novels by Sir Walter Scott. Set in the Welsh Marches in the 12th century it is the first of two '' Tales of the Crusaders'', the second being '' The Talisman''. Parts of the novel were incorporated into Francesco Maria Piave's libretto for Giuseppe Verdi's 1857 opera, ''Aroldo'', itself a re-working of an earlier Verdi opera, ''Stiffelio''. Composition and sources At the beginning of April 1824, two months before he completed ''Redgauntlet'', Scott envisaged that it would be followed by a four-volume publication containing two tales, at least one of which would be based on the Crusades. He began composition of the first story, ''The Betrothed'', in June, but progress was to be excruciatingly slow. Initially the problem was numerous interruptions with visitors to Abbotsford. By mid-August proofs had only passed the middle of the first volume and in September Scott was able to write only sporadically, so that the first volume was n ...

The Talisman (Scott Novel)
''The Talisman'' is one of the Waverley novels by Sir Walter Scott. Published in 1825 as the second of his '' Tales of the Crusaders'', it is set during the Third Crusade and centres on the relationship between Richard I of England and Saladin. Composition and sources At the beginning of April 1824, two months before he completed ''Redgauntlet'', Scott envisaged that it would be followed by a four-volume publication containing two tales, at least one of which would be based on the Crusades. He began composition of the first story, ''The Betrothed'', in June, but it made slow progress and came to a halt in the second volume at some point in the autumn after criticisms by James Ballantyne. Scott then changed course and began work on the companion novel ''The Talisman'', and the first two chapters and part of the third were set in type by the end of the year. January 1825 was full of distractions, but a decision to resume ''The Betrothed'' was made in mid-February 1825 and it was e ...

Waverley Novels
The Waverley Novels are a long series of novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). For nearly a century, they were among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. Because Scott did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, the series takes its name from ''Waverley'', the first novel of the series, released in 1814. The later books bore the words "by the author of ''Waverley''" on their title pages. The ''Tales of my Landlord'' sub-series was not advertised as "by the author of ''Waverley''" and thus is not always included as part of the Waverley Novels series.

Novels Set During The Crusades
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, typically written in prose and published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the la, novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of ''novellus'', diminutive of ''novus'', meaning "new". Some novelists, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ann Radcliffe, John Cowper Powys, preferred the term "romance" to describe their novels. According to Margaret Doody, the novel has "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years", with its origins in the Ancient Greek and Roman novel, in Chivalric romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella.Margaret Anne Doody''The True Story of the Novel'' New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1996, rept. 1997, p. 1.
