Outlander is much more than a television romance about a World War
II nurse and a Jacobite soldier in a fetching kilt. The massive
book series has been categorized as a period drama, adventure saga,
military history, and fantasy epic. Further, those who look deeper
will find an extraordinary amount of symbolism and mythology from
around the world. Enter the world of myth behind Outlander, from
the Fair Folk and the Loch Ness monster to the magic and lore of
standing stones and the pagan Sun Feasts that control them. Reach
into the original legends of culture hero Fionn Mac Cumhaill and
the prophecy of the Brahan Seer that inspire parts of the saga.
Discover the meaning behind popular Outlander symbols: heather and
white roses, the dragonfly in amber, Claire's blue vase and shining
wedding gown, her wedding ring and pearl necklace. Throughout
Claire and Jaime's journey, they're surrounded by the literature
and music of the time, which likewise offer a deeper significance.
Claire quotes the English romantic poets of her childhood but also
the anachronistic Robbie Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Later the
characters encounter wendigos and ghosts, zombies and Vodou ritual,
succubae, acupuncture and astrology, and much more. All in all, the
Outlander, world has much more behind it for the discerning fan to
discover.
