Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Set on the eve of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland, The Monastery is full of supernatural events, theological conflict, and humour. Located in the lawless Scottish Borders, the novel depicts the monastery of Kennaquhair (a thinly disguised Melrose Abbey, whose ruins are still to be seen near Scott's own home at Abbotsford) on the verge of dissolution, and the fortunes of two brothers as they respond to a new social and religious order. Highlights of the narrative include a moving encounter between two representatives of opposing sides in the Reformation controversy who had been students together in less troubled times, and the final formal procession of the Kennaquhair monks as the Reformed forces arrive. A talking-point when the work was first published, the mysterious spectral White Lady, guardian of the magical Black Book, still intrigues readers. A strong comic element is provided by Sir Piercie Shafton with his absurd linguistic mannerisms fashionable at the English court. The narrative is preceded by one of Scott's most charming and playful introductory exchanges between the fictional local antiquary Cuthbert Clutterbuck and the Author of Waverley.…

For information on Macqueen-Pope, see his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item is from his papers. Unsigned carbon copy of typed letter, with '(W. Macqueen-Pope)' typed below space for signature. 2pp, 4to. Sixty-one lines of text. Text clear and complete, on lightly aged and creased paper, with slight water stain to one edge and damage to top left-hand corner from paperclip. The letter begins: 'My Dear John, / Re the toys which made Xmas long ago. One would want a picture of the men standing shoulder to shoulder down Ludgate Hill, in the gutter, selling the penny toys. These they carried on trays, with a support round their necks. The toys were of all sorts - a list -'. A list of thirty-two lines follows, beginning: 'Little men taking off their tall hats when a string was pulled. / Little tortoises in boxes with glass tops, which waggled their legs when moved.' Ends with: 'Little bits of metal like aeroplane propellors [sic] which rose in the air when pushed up a screwed rod. / Watchmen's rattles - yellow and red. / Bulls eye lanterns.' The recipient has followed each entry on the list with a tiny tick in ink. Macqueen-Pope continues with twenty-three lines listing 'toys which have almost if not quite vanished - b[u]t which cost more than a penny - some as much as sixpence'. These include: 'Tin palm tress [sic] bearing cocoanuts and a nigger smwarmed [sic] up it, caught a cocoa nut in a try on his head and came down.' and 'The Wheel of Life - a circular tin affair looking like a round saucepan with no handle. It had slots in the side. Into the bottom went a spike. You put rolls of paper - with illustrations inside, facing inwards, you twirled it round, looked through the slots and the pictures moved. This was the origin of the cinema.' Also 'Slap bangs, which went off with a satisfying bang when dropped. Scared old men and made cyclists think they had a puncture.' Postscript: 'White mice and pigs made of sugar. Tiger nuts - locusts. Everlasting stick'.…
