Book Description
Set in the mid-eighteenth century in the fictitious third Jacobite rebellion, Redgauntlet (1824) tells of Darsie Latimer, a student of law who becomes embroiled in a plot to put Prince Charles Edward (aka, Bonnie Prince Charlie) on the British throne. The events in Redgauntlet never actually took place, but they are probable, and form the culmination of Scott's series of Jacobite novels.
Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott: Scottish novelist and poet. Roy” and other famous novels that are still read today. Scott was born in Scotland in 1771 to noble parents. Scott learned to read from his aunt Jenny, and she told him many historical stories and legends that formed his consciousness and developed his imagination, so that its effects were evident in his literary works. Scott studied to become a lawyer like his father, and the study of English literature sparked his passion, as he studied classics at the "University of Edinburgh" at twelve, and when he was twenty-one he had completed his studies of law and worked as a lawyer without leaving literature, so he read many books in multiple languages such as Spanish, Italian, French, German and Latin Then he began publishing his poetry in 1802. With the increase of his financial income, he began to devote himself little by little to literature, so he produced his famous historical novel "Ivanhoe" in 1822 AD, after which he was called the father of the modern novel and was given the title of biographer. Scott had a keen memory and was interested in the study of history, especially the medieval period, which he was concerned with in his novels. He was one of the first writers to emphasize the relationship between characters and their surroundings. He also mixed realism, local color and romance in his works, and his works left a clear impact on the literature of the nineteenth century. His large financial expenses were the reason for his bankruptcy; which forced him to redouble his efforts in writing and writing to meet his debts, but the continuous and strenuous effort caused him to fall ill; His health worsened and he died in 1832 at the age of sixty-one.
