The origin of "Old Mortality," perhaps the best of Scotts historical romances, is well known. In May, 1816, Mr. Joseph Train, the gauger from Galloway, breakfasted with Scott in Castle Street. He brought gifts in his hand,a relic of Rob Roy, and a parcel of traditions. Among these was a letter from Mr. Broadfoot, schoolmaster in Pennington, who facetiously signed himself "Clashbottom." To cleish, or clash, is to "flog," in Scots. From Mr. Broadfoots joke arose Jedediah Cleishbotham, the dominie of Gandercleugh; the real place of Broadfoots revels was the Shoulder of Mutton Inn, at Newton Stewart. Mr. Train, much pleased with the antiques in "the den" of Castle Street, was particularly charmed by that portrait of Claverhouse which now hangs on the staircase of the study at Abbotsford. Scott expressed the Cavalier opinions about Dundee, which were new to Mr. Train, who had been bred in the rural tradition of "Bloody Claverse."

La historia del enano misterioso, deforme y de fuerza excepcional, no figura entre las más conocidas de Walter Scott. Sin embargo, es un exacto compendio de la prosa scottiana, y en cierto modo ejemplar dentro de su vasta produccion. El enano negro es una novela cerrada, de trama bien urdida, personajes atractivos, amenidad indudable y en la que no sobra ni una pagina ni hay lugar para perderse en digresiones ajenas al mundo argumental. Una obra maestra, muy personal y significativa de su autor, que nos da noticia cierta de la novelistica del romanticismo ingles, con los ingredientes de toda buena novela de aventuras: el crimen, la venganza y los amores imposibles.br
