The Black Dwarf (1816) – This novel is set in the early 18th century in the Scottish Borders. It tells the story of a mysterious and reclusive figure known as the `Black Dwarf,` who lives in isolation and is believed to possess supernatural powers. The novel explores themes of justice, revenge, and superstition in rural Scotland.
Old Mortality (1816) – Considered one of Scott`s greatest works, Old Mortality is set during the Covenanters` Rebellion in Scotland (1679–1685). It follows the young hero Henry Morton as he is caught between the conflict of the Scottish Covenanters and the forces loyal to King Charles II. The book is rich in historical detail and presents a nuanced view of religious and political struggles in 17th-century Scotland.
Quentin Durward (1823) – a young Scottish soldier of noble birth but little fortune, travels to France in search of opportunity. He joins Louis XI’s Scottish Guard, an elite group of mercenaries protecting the king. The novel follows his journey as he becomes entangled in court intrigues, navigates shifting alliances, and falls in love with Isabelle de Croye, a noblewoman fleeing an unwanted marriage.
Durward must outwit the cunning King Louis XI, who is depicted as a master of political maneuvering, and the formidable Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, a powerful and ambitious rival of the French king. The novel portrays their historical conflict while blending fictional adventure and romance.
