Description

1905. Sir Walter Scott was a master of diverse talents. He was a man of letters, a dedicated historian and historiographer, a well-read translator of foreign texts, and a talented poet. Deriving most of his material from his native Scotland, its history and its legends, Scott invented and mastered what we know today as the historical novel. The Abbot, is his sequel to The Monastery (which was considered by some to be a dismal failure), takes us through the life of Roland Graeme, a comely lad who is adopted by the lady of Avenel, as her page, and someone to while away the hours with while her husband, Sir Halbert Glendinning, is away in foreign lands with the Scottish Regent Murray. After seven years Roland the upstart is banished from the castle and leaves to seek his fortune. See other works by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
