The Master of Ballantrae: A Scottish Gothic Tale of Jacobite Rebellion, Brother Rivalry, Inheritance, Revenge, and Betrayal - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
The Master of Ballantrae is Stevenson's dark historical romance of fraternal rivalry, exile, and moral corrosion, set against the Jacobite rising of 1745 and its aftermath. Through the opposed figures of James Durie, the charismatic Master, and his brother Henry, the novel transforms adventure fiction into a study of divided inheritance and psychological obsession. Its layered narration, shifting documents, and Gothic atmosphere place it between Victorian romance, Scottish historical fiction, and the emerging modern novel of unreliable testimony. Robert Louis Stevenson, already celebrated for Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, brought to this work his lifelong fascination with duality, divided selves, and the burdens of Scottish history. Born in Edinburgh and shaped by both Presbyterian moral seriousness and cosmopolitan travel, Stevenson wrote the novel while increasingly aware of illness, displacement, and ancestral memory—conditions that sharpened his interest in loyalty, legitimacy, and exile. Readers who admire historical fiction with intellectual depth will find The Master of Ballantrae especially rewarding. It offers suspense, elegance, and adventure, but also a rigorous meditation on hatred, family, and the destructive glamour of evil.
