About this audiobook
The Collected Works of D. K. Broster gathers the fiction of a writer whose historical imagination is at once romantic, disciplined, and psychologically acute. Best known for her Jacobite novels—especially The Flight of the Heron—Broster writes of loyalty, exile, warfare, inheritance, and private conscience against meticulously reconstructed eighteenth-century settings. Her prose combines the narrative propulsion of adventure romance with the precision of archival history, placing her in the tradition of Scott while also anticipating the more introspective historical fiction of the twentieth century. Dorothy Kathleen Broster (1877–1950) was educated at Oxford and possessed the habits of both scholar and storyteller. Her work reflects a lifelong fascination with military history, genealogy, landscape, and the moral pressures exerted by political upheaval. Service as a nurse during the First World War also sharpened her understanding of courage, suffering, and divided allegiance—qualities that inform her treatment of conflict without reducing it to mere spectacle. This collection is warmly recommended to readers who value historical fiction that is both learned and emotionally compelling. Broster rewards patience with atmosphere, ethical complexity, and characters shaped by history rather than simply placed within it.
