Castle Dangerous, E-bok

Castle Dangerous is the last of Walter Scott’s Waverley cycle of historical novels. The story takes place shortly after the death of William Wallace in the Scottish War of Independence. Basically a romantic tale, the narrative follows a fair lady and her pledge of marriage. With romantic triangles, mysterious identities, battles, and sword duels, Castle Dangerous is a satisfying conclusion to Scott’s longish tradition of historical novels. Despite being his swan song , it still remains a pleasant and highly recommendable read.Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish writer, poet, and historian. A jurist by formation, he was also judge, and an active member of the Highland Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. He also played a major role in bringing the Sturm und Drang literary movement to the United Kingdom, both through translations, but also through his own creations. He wrote numerous well-known historical novels, including Waverley, Rob Roy , and Ivanhoe , which have inspired countless authors ever since.
