FOLIO SOCIETY ROB ROY Limited Edition Sir Walter Scott 2021 NEW

Description: Folio Society Limited Edition - ROB ROY by Sir Walter Scott Published to mark the 250th anniversary of Scott's birth, this stunning volume brings together his definitive text, an exclusive new foreword by celebrated historical novelist Diana Gabaldon, and arresting illustrations by renowned Scottish artist June Carey. Leather-bound, hand-numbered and signed by both introducer and illustrator, this is the ultimate commemorative edition of the classic historical novel. A fascinating blend of fact and fiction, Rob Roy is one of the finest historical novels – a genre which Scott is widely credited with inventing. Set on the eve of the 1715 Jacobite uprising, a time of religious and political turmoil, the unlikely alliance between a young Englishman and the rebel-outlaw Robert MacGregor, known to the world as Rob Roy, plays out against the dramatic Scottish landscape.  Scott’s hugely influential historical novels dominated 19th-century literature. Towards the end of his life, he revised them for the ‘Magnum Opus’ edition, published from 1829–33, in which he supplemented Rob Roy with annotations and a detailed historical introduction. The limited edition follows this definitive text, and also includes a comprehensive glossary of Scottish dialect, first published in 1893 and newly updated by Folio.
