About this ebook
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.
About the author
Walter Scott (1771-1832) est, avec Byron, Shelley ou Keats, une figure importante du romantisme britannique. Poète, folkloriste de son pays, l'Ecosse, il rencontre le succès avec Waverley (1814), premiers de ses romans d'ambiance écossaise. Il devient immensément célèbre avec Ivanhoé (1819), qui triomphe dans l'Europe entière. Il poursuit dans cette veine avec Quentin Durward (1823), puis Le Talisman (1925), qui exerceront une influence énorme sur ses contemporains et qui font de lui le père du roman historique.
