Beschreibung

The Complete Works of Sir Walter Scott is an extensive compilation that captures the essence of Scott's literary prowess, encompassing poetry, novels, and historical writings that reflect the complexity of 19th-century Britain. Scott's narrative style merges rich descriptions with intricate plots, often drawing on themes of heroism, romance, and national identity. His works are characterized by a vivid portrayal of Scottish landscapes and a deep engagement with historical events, making them quintessential readings in the historical novel genre and a cornerstone of Romantic literature. Sir Walter Scott, a towering figure of Scottish literature, was born in 1771 and became an advocate for the Scottish heritage through his writings. His life experiences, including his early childhood in Edinburgh, a fascination with folklore, and deep connections to Scottish history, heavily influenced his literary output. Scott's dual role as a poet and novelist allowed him to explore the intersections of past and present, infusing his narratives with a sense of cultural nostalgia that resonated with his contemporaries. This comprehensive collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of historical fiction and poetry alike. Scott's ability to weave engaging narratives through lyrical prose not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on their own cultural identities and the historical forces that shape them.

    Charley Bates was an outsider. Always the third wheel to the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist's double-act in Fagin's gang. Then he became the redeemed thief who managed to turn himself into 'the merriest young grazier in the whole of Northamptonshire.' But would he remain on the straight and narrow or go back to his criminal ways? What he needed was a mission to keep himself honest. And then he got one: a chance to bring justice to bear on a villain from his past, Monks, the half-brother of Oliver Twist. Getting even would mean a trip from the Thames to the Mississippi and help from old friends to right the wrongs done by the 'creature' as Charley thought of him.

    The USA Today–bestselling author’s French Revolution trilogy reaches a stunning finale with “a glorious, wonderful book!” (Mary Balogh).   At sixteen, high-born Lady Emily had been found alone with Leon Devereux and was summarily forced to wed the wild, notoriously seductive rake. But it had been a marriage in name only, and soon the handsome rogue left to seek his fortune. Now, the scoundrel has returned, demanding to consummate their union, but Emily has no intention of honoring her “husband,” no matter how irresistible his caresses.   When he sought asylum from the horrors of the French Revolution in England, Leon Devereux’s unruly ways earned him the contempt of the haute ton. Yet his heart belonged only to Emily, whose reputation he was forced to protect by marrying her when she was barely more than a girl. But now, Emily has blossomed into a woman who makes Leon hunger for a love he’s never known—a love he’ll show her if only she’d let him.   “I would recommend this book very highly to anyone looking for a romance with a good mystery and intriguing sub-plots.” —All About Romance

    1940. It’s been a month since rector’s daughter Billie Harkness left her rural village to make a fresh start in the northern city of Hull. Now she has a new home and an exciting new job as one of only two female police constables in the whole city. But Hull still feels like a foreign country, and some people  
    are less than impressed by the idea of a woman doing a ‘man’s job’. 
     
    Facing disrespect from her colleagues and suspicion from the public, Billie throws herself into her work. The tasks she’s assigned might be menial, but she’s determined to do her bit for the war effort. The chance to prove her worth comes during a search for a missing air raid shelter inspector, when  
    Billie makes a shocking discovery: his dead body, in a shelter that’s been stripped of all its valuables.  
     
    The officers summoned to investigate the scene believe it’s an open and shut case, but Billie’s not so sure. Asking questions means making enemies though—and little does she know that vile rumors about her are spreading, with the power to erase everything she’s tried so hard to achieve …
