Walter Scott

Opis

Scott's 1824 "Redgauntlet" is the final novel in his series about the doomed Jacobite cause. The problem, in Scott's view, was that the royal Stuart dynasty was inherently feudal -- and the time in history for feudalism was past. This is a place and a time where deception and lies have become accepted for the preservation of peace -- a peace that is only skin deep. . . .
