Excerpt from Redgauntlet, Vol. 1 Redgauntlet was originally called Herries, Lockhart says, until Constable persuaded the author to choose the more striking name. It was published in June 1824, and was received somewhat coldly. To contemporaries, no doubt, it could not present the interest of autobiography as it does to us. It was Scott's only novel of the year he was occupied with the second edition of his Life of Swift, with reviews, with a Tribute to the Memory of Lord Byron, and with the furnishing and decoration of Abbotsford.

Redgauntlet Volume 1 By Walter Scott Set in 1765 in the fictitious third Jacobite rebellion, Redgauntlet tells of Darsie Latimer, a student of law who becomes embroiled in a plot to put Prince Charles Edward (aka, Bonnie Prince Charlie) on the British throne. He is kidnapped by his uncle, Redgauntlet, who is involved in a last, fictional attempt to restore the Stewarts to the British throne. The events in Redgauntlet never actually took place, but they are probable, and form the culmination of Scott's series of Jacobite novels.
