A joke that at Waterloo, "none, by sabre or by shot, fell half so flat" as this author was widely circulated after this author's poem "The Field at Waterloo" received scathing reviews. A memoir complains that this author made American Southerners value their "bogus decorations" and that this author's so-called "disease" therefore partly caused the American Civil War. This author wrote, "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" in a poem published with copious antiquarian notes. In a novel by this author, the Jewish moneylender Isaac of York is ordered arrested by the Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, who dies in a trial by combat. In a novel by this author, a knight disguises himself as Desdichado after returning from the Crusades and falls in love with Rowena. For 10 points, name this author of Marmion and Ivanhoe. ■END■
