Set in 1730s Scotland, this classic blends rich history with timeless themes of justice and resilience. This edition ships same day if ordered before noon, arrives in mint condition, and offers hassle-free returns, making it a must-have for discerning readers and collectors alike. ## Description Jeanie Deans, a dairymaid, decides she must walk to London to gain an audience with the Queen. Her sister is to be executed for infanticide and, while refusing to lie to help her case, Jeanie is desperate for a reprieve. Set in the 1730s in a Scotland uneasily united with England, The Heart of Mid-Lothian dramatizes different kinds of justice - that meted out by the Edinburgh mob in the lynching of Captain Porteous, and that encountered by a terrified young girl suspected of killing her baby. Based on an anonymous letter Scot received in 1817, this is the seventh and finest of Scott's 'Waverley' novels. It was an international bestseller and inspired succeeding novelists from Balzac to George Eliot. Review: Trust me on this... - It is an incredible book. Despite the difficulties of Scott's use of the Scots' dialect and heavy interlardings of fine points of history, it well rewards the reading. And those get easier as you go along and get used to them. In the Scott monument in Edinburgh the main character, Jeanie Deans, is mentioned as one of his best and it is very true. Not only is she a strong, quietly righteous woman of the lower classes, her actions are inspiring and moving. On a par with Jane Eyre, and like her one of the first strong independent women in modern literature. she was loosely based on a real historical figure (unless Scott was being sly), but entirely a creation of Scott's and one of, if not his best. I would say she is the true heart of Midlothian (the Scottish county that includes Edinburgh), not the prison which was in the center of town and forms a pivotal plot fulcrum. Highly recommended.
