The Pirate - The Heart of Mid-Lotham - Quentin Durward - Sir Walter Scott
KORTE INHOUD
The Pirate is a novel written by Walter Scott in 1822. It is set in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, which Scott visited. Murdaunt, the only son Mertoun has, sets sail for the islands to have a new life, but Mertoun hides his ghostly past as 'captain devil', a malevolent pirate who sailed through the Atlantic Ocean looting Spanish ships and Dutch.
Jeanie Deans, a dairymaid, decides she must walk to London to gain an audience with the Queen. Her sister is to be executed for infanticide and, while refusing to lie to help her case, Jeanie is desperate for a reprieve. Set in the 1730s in a Scotland uneasily united with England, The Heart of Mid-Lothian dramatizes different kinds of justice—that meted out by the Edinburgh mob in the lynching of Captain Porteous, and that encountered by a terrified young girl suspected of killing her baby. Based on an anonymous letter Scott received in 1817
