About The Book Scott's success in portraying the character of Mary Stuart in The Abbot fired him with the desire of doing likewise with her great rival Elizabeth; and although history has modified his picture of the English Queen, the portrait still remains a vivid and in many respects a faithful likeness. In his preface to the first edition of Kenilworth, which was published in January, 1821, Scott, referring to his delineation of Elizabeth, admits that he is a Scottishman, and therefore may be pardoned for looking at his subject with certain prejudices. Another source of inspiration that led him to write the romance was the old ballad of Cumnor Hall, in which the tale of Amy Robsart is told. Scott's genius for depicting the life and manners and customs of the Middle Ages, of visualising scenes of long-gone chivalry, is exhibited in Kenilworth as in none other of his works. In common also with all his historical novels, Kenilworth bears witness to its author's passion for historical truth.
