Description
Redgauntlet by Walter Scott A complex and thought-provoking novel that explores the intricate relationship between history and fiction. Set in 1765, this third Jacobite rebellion is woven into a tale of kidnapping, plot, and the quest to install the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie on the British throne. This edition features the Magnum text of 1832, the last to be corrected by Scott, along with his own notes. A new introduction by Kathryn Sutherland provides valuable context and insight into the historical period, the novel's structure and style, and its enduring themes.
