Set against the backdrop of the Popish Plot to overturn Charles II, Peveril of the Peak explores the on-going tensions between Cavalier and Puritan loyalties during the fraught years of Restoration England. Ranging from Derbyshire to the Isle of Man and culminating in London it is a novel which interweaves political intrigue, personal responsibilities and the ways in which the forces of history are played out in the struggles of individual human lives. But its true subject is perhaps the role of narration and the limits of storytelling itself. In this, the first scholarly edition of Peveril, Alison Lumsden recovers a lost novel.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley NovelsTopic: Classic Fiction, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
