It is the purpose of this paper to examine the meticulous lengths Scott took in reproducing the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion—a moment in history crucial to the understanding of Scotland’s nation-making—and investigate the unique national identities that divide his cast of characters from one another.en-USScott, Walter, Sir, 1771-1832 -- Criticism and interpretationLiterature and society -- Scotland -- History -- 19th century.National characteristics, Scottish, in literatureOther
