Much has been already written on the extent of the influence of Walter Scott on the conception of I Promessi Sposi, and on the extent to which Manzoni is independent of that influence. A glance at the bibliography at the end of this article might induce one to think that anything more would be superfluous: yet there are still a number of misconceptions entertained on which a clearer light can still be shed. In particular there is one single novel of Scott's, almost unnoticed by those who have embarked upon this theme of the connexion between the two novelists, which seems to the present writer to resemble I Promessi Sposi far more closely than do any of the others, or even more closely than all the others put together, and this resemblance lies not only in the matters of insignificant and often coincidental detail in which students of comparative literature delight, but also in the whole theme and scope of the two books
