About this product

Product Information

When young Francis Osbaldistone discovers that his vicious and scheming cousin Rashleigh has designs both on his father's business and his beloved Diana Vernon, he turns in desperation to Rob Roy for help. Chieftain of the MacGregor clan, Rob Roy is a brave and fearless man, able and cunning. But he is also an outlaw with a price on his head, and as he and Francis join forces to pursue Rashleigh, he is constantly aware that he, too, is being pursued - and could be captured at any moment. Set on the eve of the 1715 Jacobite uprising, Rob Roy brilliantly evokes a Scotland on the verge of rebellion, blending historical fact and a novelist's imagination to create an incomparable portrait of intrigue, rivalry and romance.

A lesser Scott novel set in 1715. If you want Rob Roy's story, see the Liam Neeson film instead.
Similar in outline to Waverley: a rich young Englishman journeys north to participate in the events surrounding a Jacobite rebellion in Scotland. Supporting the rebels is a beautiful, cultured, highly-spirited gentlewoman, with whom the hero falls in love. Again, Scott triple filters us from modern, rich England, to Border/Lowland gentry, to Lowland Scotland, and ultimately to the feudal Highlands. Once again, Scott's English hero is naive, militarily ineffective, and is used as a tool by more able rebels. The positives of Rob Roy are similar to those of Waverley: the background historical knowledge, the highly-skilled use of different narrative textures, and several excellent characters, including Baillie Jarvis and Diana Vernon. (In fact, Diana Vernon is so good, it appears that Patrick O'Brian reincarnated her as the Diana Villiers of his Aubrey-Maturin novels.) The main negative of Rob Roy is that it reads like a lesser retread of Waverley. This time, we miss the nobility of the hero's blood-brotherhood with a Scotsman, such as Waverley's McIvor. We also miss the main military encounter of the 1715 campaign. We only see Rob Roy fleetingly and disguised in the first 370 pages, which are full of a laboured satire of decadent Border gentry. Anyone expecting the novel which inspired the Liam Neeson film will be disappointed --- Scott's book only hints at the events which forced Rob Roy to become an outlaw. Overall, I would recommend this book, but only to those who have read and enjoyed Waverley, Old Mortality, and Heart of Midlothian.Read full review
