The Pirate: The Works of Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott

Other Editions

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 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. See the many other works by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
