Více o produktu ↓
nové vydání klasické anglické četby Old Mortality (1816), which many consider the finest of Scott's Waverley
novels, is a swift-moving historical romance that places an
anachronistically liberal hero against the forces of fanaticism in
seventeenth-century Scotland, in the period infamous as the `killing
time'. Its central character, Henry Morton, joins the rebels in order
to fight Scotland's royalist oppressors, little as he shares the
Covenanters' extreme religious beliefs. He is torn between his love for
a royalist's granddaughter and his loyalty to his downtrodden
countrymen.
As well as being a tale of divided loyalties, the
novel is a crucial document in the cultural history of modern Scotland.
Scott, himself a supporter of the union between Scotland and
England, was trying to exorcise the violent past of a country
uncomfortably coming to terms with its status as part of a modern
United Kingdom. This novel is in itself a significant political
document, in which Scott can be seen to be attempting to create a new
centralist Scottish historiography, which is not the political
consensus of his own time, the seventeenth century, or today.
