Cover: United artists. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Literature England 18th Century Adventure. DESCRIPTION - Rob Roy MacGregor is a romantic outlaw who comes alive in Sir Walter Scott's classic epic of the passions and struggles of the Scottish borderlands. Published in 1817, ROB ROY achieved immense success as a favorite among Scott's 'Waverley' books - works which established the historical novel as a literary form. In rich prose and vivid description, ROB ROY follows the adventures of a businessman's son, Frank Osbaldistone, who falls out of favor with his father and is sent to stay in Scotland. Innocent, English, and Protestant, Frank is intrigued by this wild and noble land. He finds himself drawn to the powerful, enigmatic figure of Rob Roy, who alongside his fiercely passionate wife, Helen, fights for justice and dignity for the Scottish people. Twists of plot, Rob Roy's cunning escapes, uprisings against English oppressors, and Frank's forbidden love for a Catholic girl, Diana, combine with superb period detail to make ROB ROY an absorbing tale - and an incomparable portrait of the haunted highlands, a great hero, and a glorious Scottish past. inventory #32876.
