The Black Dwarf

The Black Dwarf

Walter ScottPeter Garside

1993

Genres: ClassicsBiography

Set in south-west Scotland in the immediate aftermath of the 1707 Union, The Black Dwarf was intended to be a story about the first, abortive, Jacobite uprising of 1708. Instead it developed into a gothic tale of the supernatural. This new edition brings out the virtues in the story, long overlaid by Scott’s embellishments in later editions.
