The Bride of Lammermoor, Paperback / softback Book

The Bride of Lammermoor Paperback / softback

Edited by Fiona Robertson

Part of the Oxford World's Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

The plans of Edgar, Master of Ravenswood to regain his ancient family estate from the corrupt Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland are frustrated by the complexities of the legal and political situations following the 1707 Act of Union, and by his passion for his enemy's beautiful daughter Lucy.

First published in 1819, this intricate and searching romantic tragedy offers challenging insights into emotional and sexual politics, and demonstrates the shrewd way in which Scott presented his work as historical document, entertainment, and work of art.
