Before I began reading his novels (which is just a matter of weeks ago) Scott was to me 'the father of the historical novel' by repute only, having read about him as such in different sources (with the selfsame sources claiming that he was - either rightly or wrongly - little read these days). Having finished 'Redgauntlet' now, which is my fourth Scott-novel (having previously read Waverley; or 'Tis Sixty Years Since (Oxford World's Classics), The Antiquary (Oxford World's Classics) and Old Mortality (Oxford World's Classics)), I definitely tend to side with those who are of the opinion that it is a shame that he is so little read nowadays.Indeed, 'Redgauntlet' is to my mind yet another fine example of a good historical novel, on a par with many more recent books and better than quite a few. The story - set in 1765 - is easily summarized: Darsie Latimer is an orphan whose history is clouded in mystery. He has been staying with the English lawyer Fairford and has struck up a real friendship with Fairford's son Alan. Latimer is sent to Scotland with the bizarre instruction that he is on no account to cross the border with England again before his 25th anniversary, but once in Scotland soon enough finds himself entangled in a (fictitious) plot to restore the exiled Prince Charles Edward Stewart (aka 'Bonnie Prince Charlie', who led the unsuccessful Jacobite rising of 1745) to the throne.As with the other Scott-novels I've read so far, 'Redgauntlet' meets all the requirements of a good historical novel / adventure story: a fast-paced plot, a healthy dose of mystery, finely-drawn and engaging characters, a love-interest, and lots of 'couleur locale'. On top of that, and contrary to his other novels which are all written by an omniscient author, Scott experiments with different forms in 'Redgauntlet': part of the story is told in letters exchanged between Alan Fairford and Darsie Latimer, some of it is Darsie's diary, and yet other parts are plain narration.Whether you have (as I had) preconceived ideas about Scott or not, this book is definitely worth the read, and I for one felt no hesitation whatsoever to immediately start reading Rob Roy (Oxford World's Classics)! And before I forget, in this edition - as is the case, in my experience, with all novels published in the Oxford World's Classics - it comes with an excellent introduction (in this case by Kathryn Sutherland).
