Rob Roy
An adventure tale filled with brave deeds
and cowardly conspiracies, noble heroes
and despicable traitors, Rob Roy sweeps
readers into the turmoil that erupted in
England and Scotland after the death of
Queen Anne. Based on the real-life Rob
Roy MacGregor, it explores a common
theme in Scott’s work: the disappearance
of the heroic values of chivalry as society
became more ordered and prosperous.
