Pirate

Informationen zum Autor Sir Walter Scott. Edited by Mark Weinstein and Alison Lumsden Klappentext The action of The Pirate takes place in Shetland and Orkney in the last years of the seventeenth century. The plot hinges on an illicit relationship and is dominated by obsessed women and dark men twisted by their criminality. The new edition does not change the story, but in its return to the manuscript it recovers the underlying pattern, and exhibits not only Scott's considerable knowledge of northern history, but his extraordinary grasp of the literature of the north. Zusammenfassung The novel is set in Orkney and Shetland in 1689! and for the northern isles the 'Glorious Revolution' actually means the beginning of the cultural dominance of Scotland and the advent of English power.
