Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor - (Scotnotes Study Guides) (Paperback)

Set in the aftermath of the 1707 Union of the Parliaments, Sir Walter Scott's romantic tragedy The Bride of Lammermoor (1819) conveys the anxiety of a fractured Scottish society through the ill-fated romance of two young lovers, Edgar and Lucy. With its heady gothic mixture of history, fiction, humour, romance, and the supernatural, The Bride of Lammermoor is both intriguing and entertaining, and an ideal text for further study. Eileen Dunlop's SCOTNOTE explores and explains the historical, social and political background of this influential novel, and is an ideal study guide for senior school pupils and students.
