Beskrivelse
Redgauntlet (1824) is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, one of the Waverley novels, set primarily in Dumfriesshire, southwest Scotland, in 1765, and described by Magnus Magnusson (a point first made by Andrew Lang) as “in a sense, the most autobiographical of Scott’s novels.”[1] It describes the beginnings of a fictional third Jacobite Rebellion, and includes “Wandering Willie’s Tale”, a famous short story which frequently appears in anthologies.
