Description
Like Robert Louis Stevenson, John Buchan was fascinated by the mid-18th century Jacobite uprising which pitted those loyal to the Stuarts—a faction largely based in Scotland—against those content with the Hanoverians then on the throne. Buchan was hard at work during the 1920s on his biography of the Marquess of Montrose which further deepened his historical inclinations. It was during this period that Midwinter was written. It’s generally regarded as one of Buchan’s more “serious” works of fiction, but for all that it retains moments of excitement and whimsy.
