The life of a young law student, Darsie Latimer, is thrown into
disarray when he is kidnapped by a man named Hugh Redgauntlet.
Taken to an unfamiliar village, Darsie is reunited with his sister,
and soon realizes that Redgauntlet is his uncle. Unclear of his
uncle’s motivations, Darsie notices the presence of many
prominent members of the Jacobite movement in the community,
including the face of the party, Prince Charles Edward Stewart.
Meanwhile, Darsie’s friend, Alan Fairford sets out to rescue him,
unaware of the situation he is soon to enter. After further
discussion and investigation, Darsie finds out that Redgauntlet
kidnapped him and summoned the Jacobites in order to amass a small
army. Determined to start a third Jacobite uprising in Scotland,
Redgauntlet tries to convince Darsie of his cause, and attempts to
arouse morale and confidence among the movement members. However,
not all of the Jacobites are as dedicated as Redgauntlet, and as
the days drag on, they even begin to suspect that there is a spy
among them. With conflict, hilarity, and interesting characters,
Redgauntlet: A Tale of the 18th Century by Sir Walter Scott is a
clever and haunting read. Partially written as an epistolary novel,
Redgauntlet: A Tale of the 18th Century depicts fascinating and
authentic Scottish dialect and syntax, as well as enlightening
modern readers on the spirit of certain political movements in
Scottish history. This humorous and gripping tale has been adapted
for television, radio, and even a mini film series, demonstrating
that even though it depicts an imagined historic event,
Redgauntlet: A Tale of the 18th Century is still relevant and
appealing to modern audiences. This edition of Redgauntlet: A Tale
of the 18th Century by Sir Walter Scott now features an
eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font that is both
modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of
Redgauntlet: A Tale of the 18th Century crafts an accessible and
pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring
the original mastery and drama of Sir Walter Scott’s literature.
