One is his first love. The other is his best love. Which will be his true love? Walter Scott has three passions: Scotland, poetry, and Mina Stuart. Though young and from a different station in society, she is the sunshine of his soul. Yet it's hard for Mina to know if she is only dazzled by Walter's flattery. When she meets charming William, her heart is challenged. Then, one windy morning in the lake country, Walter meets Charlotte. Passion and promises collide as all must decide the course for their futures.

Harry Shaw’s aim is to promote a fuller understanding of nineteenth-century historical fiction by revealing its formal possibilities and limitations. His wide-ranging book establishes a typology of the ways in which history was used in prose fiction during the nineteenth century, examining major works by Sir Walter Scott—the first modern historical novelist—and by Balzac, Hugo, Anatole France, Eliot, Thackeray, Dickens, and Tolstoy.

Book Description
Set within a framing narrative, these three stories take place in the years following the Jacobite defeat and feature characters who are leaving Scotland to seek their fortunes elsewhere. In two of Walter Scott's best-known tales, "The Highland Widow" and "The Two Drovers," two young men are torn between traditional Scottish loyalties and the opportunities offered by England. "The Surgeon's Daughter" follows three young Scots to India during the first years of the British Empire. All three highlight Scott's unique gift for re-creating the spirit of historical eras and painting stirring portraits of Scottish people.
