Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, and playwright. Although he was an advocate and legal administrator by profession, Scott is most famous for his great literary works and activities in the Royal Highland Society. "Peveril of the Peak" is a wonderful historical novel set near the end of the seventeenth century in the years following the English Civil War. Most of the story takes place in locations of Derbyshire, London, and on the Isle of Man and revolves around a Cavalier Julian Peveril who is in love with Alice Bridgenorth. Nevertheless, both he and his father are accused of accused of involvement with the Popish Plot of 1678, which breaks all the plans for a happy future.

In the customary practice of the day Cooper was reading aloud to his wife one evening from a current English novel, but found the story dull.

James Fenimore Cooper was a prolific and popular American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Precaution is the first novel written by Cooper written in imitation of Jane Austen`s novels of English gentry manners. It is mainly interesting today as a document in the history of American cultural colonialism and as an example of an attempt to imitate Jane Austen`s investigation of the ironic discrepancy between illusion and reality.
