Résumé

Set in the tumultuous era of Elizabethan England, Sir Walter Scott's historical novel "Kenilworth" intricately weaves a tale of romance, intrigue, and political machinations. At the heart of the narrative lies the tragic love story between the beautiful Amy Robsart and the ambitious Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who is driven by desire and the ruthless politics of his courtly ambitions. Scott's vivid prose and meticulous attention to historical detail transport readers into a world where loyalty, honor, and betrayal intertwine, reflecting the complexities of 16th-century British society, especially the tension between the monarchy and its subjects.
Sir Walter Scott, often regarded as the father of the historical novel, draws upon his extensive knowledge of Scottish and English history to craft this engaging narrative. His own background, marked by political unrest and social change, informs his exploration of themes such as love, power, and the impact of history on personal lives. Scott's passion for portraying the past with authenticity and insight shines through in this novel, which was published in 1821 amidst his rise as a prominent literary figure.
"Kenilworth" is a compelling choice for readers who appreciate richly layered historical narratives infused with human emotion. Scott's masterful storytelling not only entertains but also provokes thoughtful reflection on the interplay between ambition and morality. This novel is an essential read for those interested in the enduring complexities of love and power in history. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
