While taking in the sights of the distant Highlands from [a] castle's ramparts, Delaney is startled when she spots a sandal-clad foot at the other end of the roof.

Reexamining Sir Walter Scott in the Light of Three Female Scottish Novelists
This review article examines the new approach of Andrew Monnickendam who explores the novels of Sir Walter Scott through the lens of three relatively unknown female Scottish authors (Mary Brunton, Susan Ferrier and Christian Johnstone). Scott's fiction reveals emerging notions of national identity, the uneasy equilibrium of the British union, gender issues, and the making of the modem nation state. These preoccupations are also shared by the female authors that Monnickendam discusses in his new book. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
