Queenhoo Hall is a historical novel largely written by Joseph Strutt but left unfinished at his death in 1802.

It was completed by Walter Scott at the behest of his friend James Ballantyne and publisher John Murray, and released in 1808.

Joseph Strutt was a noted antiquarian who had a particular interest in the Medieval era and the Gothic style.

He began writing the novel under the title Emma Darcy, but died before he could complete it.

[3] Scott was known at this time as a poet but later launched into a celebrated series of novels with his 1814 work Waverley.
