I listened to this poem through Librivox. it was beautifully read by Cynthia Moyer.

This is a fast moving traditional chivalric romance- often heavier on the chivalry than the romance. The fact that this is a poem with alliteration, repetition, and of course rhyme just helps the flow and emphasis of the tale.

This is a definite tale to put in on your next road trip.

I'm a sucker for both Scott and long-form poetry, but this was still just okay for me. Scott's diction and vocabulary are exquisite, but the story wasn't so much my cup of tea. The plethora of characters named "James" made some of the plot confusing for me.

I prefer this over Marmion any day. It's excellent and very well-written. Reading Ivanhoe next.
