After ascending to the throne at a young age, and ruling Protestant
subjects while personally practicing Catholicism, Mary, Queen of
the Scots was hardly given a chance to be an influential leader.
Other rulers, and sometimes her own subjects, looked down on her
for her religious differences. Which is why, Queen Mary’s
relatives, her Protestant subjects, and Lady Lochlevan locked her
in Lochlevan castle at their first chance. Having been raised in
solitude, and often sent away for extended stays the castle, Mary
had little patience for her imprisonment. Stuck there with her
ladies-in-waiting, Mary bides her time, planning an escape.
Meanwhile, Roland Graeme, a young man with mysterious origins
visits the castle and immediately falls in love with Catherine,
Mary’s lady-in-waiting. However, the love affair grows
complicated when Roland gets into a feud with Catherine’s twin
brother. While Roland struggles with his feelings, Catherine and
Mary plan a daring escape, recruiting the help of a surprising
ally. Sequel to The Monastery, Sir Walter Scott’s The Abbot is a
historical adventure novel. First published two-hundred years ago
in 1820, The Abbot earned commercial success and the approval of
critics, even ranking as high as one of Scott’s most popular
novels, Waverley. Praised for its outstanding character portrayals,
critics were enamored by Catherine’s striking depiction and Queen
Mary’s humorous sarcasm. With the portrayal of an iconic and
popular royal, along with the impressive description of the
setting, this work of historical fiction is perfect for the modern
reader. Featuring plot twists, betrayals, battles, romance, and
drama, Sir Walter Scott’s The Abbot is full of exciting action
and rich prose that remains to entertain even modern audiences.
This edition of The Abbot by Sir Walter Scott now features a new,
eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both
modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of The
Abbot crafts an accessible and pleasant reading experience for
modern audiences while restoring the original mastery and drama of
Sir Walter Scott’s literature.
