Walter Scott

Woodstock; or, the Cavalier (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The strengths of Walter Scott's novels are character portrayal and vivid and highly demanding language and there is both aplenty in this account from the time of the English Revolution and First Commonwealth. This is a well told and straightforward (in plot, not language!) account of the future Charles' Second's escape from his pursuers. Both Cromwell and Charles Stuart (Charles II to be )have roles in this tale, which is a vivid admixture of historical romance and historical fact. (Goodreads)

Autorenporträt

Walter Scott and Napoleon were born two years apart on 15 August (1771 and 1796 respectively). Napoleon single-handedly created modern warfare, but Scott did the same for adventure stories and modern history. He lived in Scotland and was regularly paid US$ 1.5 million per book with books being translated simultaneously in many languages.
