Description
Based on an anonymous letter Scot received in 1817, this is the seventh and finest of Scott's 'Waverley' novels and an international bestseller of its time, inspiring succeeding novelists from Balzac to George Eliot. Set in the 1730s in a Scotland uneasily united with England, it dramatizes different kinds of justice - that meted out by the Edinburgh mob in the lynching of Captain Porteous, and that encountered by a terrified young girl suspected of killing her baby.
