About the book

Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor is a tragic historical romance set in Scotland during a period of political and social change. It centres on the doomed love between Lucy Ashton and Edgar, Master of Ravenswood, whose families are divided by property disputes and long-standing hostility. Although Lucy and Edgar fall deeply in love, family ambition and manipulation work against their relationship. Their story moves toward an increasingly dark and tragic conclusion. Scott combines romance, Gothic atmosphere and Scottish history in a powerful exploration of family loyalty, social pressure and the destructive consequences of inherited conflict.
