- Summary
- Full of intrigue with political overtones, Rob Roy is set in Northern England just before the Jacobite rebellion of 1715, and it is considered one of the author's masterpieces. Francis Obaldistone, the novel's hero, contends with his jealous unscrupulous cousin Rashleigh for the hand of the beautiful Diana Vernon. Aided by the Scottish outlaw and rebel Rob Roy and his Highlands Clansmen, Francis succeeds in exposing Rashleigh's villainy and Roy and his men save themselves from obliteration.
