Sir Walter Scott's The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott's The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott

New and controversial abridged edition of Walter Scotts The Heart of Midlothian, set in Edinburgh in the mid-eighteenth century, featuring one of Scott's most well-loved heroines, Jeanie Deans.

SIR WALTER SCOTT, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771–21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet, born in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Despite the anonymous publication of his first novel, Waverley, Scott became the first English-language author to have a truly international career in his own lifetime, with many contemporary readers in Europe, Australia and North America. His novels and poetry are still well-known, and many of his works including Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake and The Heart of Midlothian are regarded as classics of literature.

DAVID PURDIE was born privately in Prestwick and educated publicly at Ayr Academy and Glasgow University. Now a disused medical academic, he devotes what time is left to writing, lecturing and broadcasting. David is Editor-in-Chief of The Burns Encyclopaedia, which deals with the life and work of the poet Robert Burns, and is Chairman of the Sir Walter Scott Club of Edinburgh. He is in great demand as an after-dinner speaker, described in this role by the Daily Telegraph as ‘probably our best of the moment.’ He now lives in Edinburgh.
