Beskrivelse

The Bride of Lammermoor is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1819, one of the Waverley novels. The novel is set in the Lammermuir Hills of south-east Scotland, shortly before the Act of Union of 1707 (in the first edition), or shortly after the Act (in the ‘Magnum’ edition of 1830). It tells of a tragic love affair between young Lucy Ashton and her family’s enemy Edgar Ravenswood. Scott indicated the plot was based on an actual incident. The Bride of Lammermoor and A Legend of Montrose were published together anonymously as the third of Scott’s Tales of My Landlord series. The story is the basis for Donizetti’s 1835 opera Lucia di Lammermoor.
