Tales of My Landlord - Complete Illustrated Collection: 7 Novels in One Volume (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. From Old Mortality to Lammermoor: Scottish regional life in historical fictionBy Walter Scott
Length102h 40m
About this audiobook
Gathering the seven novels issued under the famous frame of Jedediah Cleishbotham, Tales of My Landlord presents Walter Scott's historical imagination at its most capacious. From Covenanting Scotland in Old Mortality and the moral drama of The Heart of Mid-Lothian to the tragic feudal world of The Bride of Lammermoor and the late medieval horizons of Count Robert of Paris and Castle Dangerous, the collection blends romance, antiquarian learning, vernacular speech, and political reflection. Its illustrated format underscores Scott's gift for staging history as vivid social theatre. Scott, born in Edinburgh in 1771, was shaped by Border ballads, legal training, Enlightenment historiography, and a lifelong fascination with Scotland's contested past. His experience as poet, collector, advocate, and sheriff enabled him to transform oral tradition and archival memory into fiction. Writing anonymously at first, he invented the modern historical novel by dramatizing how private lives are altered by national upheaval. This volume is recommended for readers seeking both narrative pleasure and serious engagement with history, identity, and cultural transition. It will particularly reward admirers of nineteenth-century fiction, Scottish literature, and richly peopled novels where social change is rendered through unforgettable characters.
