now that I’ve got you all more or less used to early modern Scots via Kidnapped Weekly, is there any chance I can make anyone read Redgauntlet?

#it’s got folk music #(it’s got folk music used AS A SECRET CODE which is my favorite thing ever) #it’s got intense youthful friendship #it’s got a slightly disturbing love triangle #it’s got mysterious family secrets #it’s got an epistolary framing #it’s got an entirely unhistorical third Jacobite rising #it’s got Scots law #it’s got everything #it’s not even Sir Walter Scott’s best book #but it has everything I like #recommended for fans of gothicness and Scots law #(and folk music used as a secret code) #I’m not doing a substack though y’all have to just read it yourselves
