          Sinopsis
          THE ABBOT by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) in 1820, a sequel to The Monastery. The history is concerned with that period of the life of Mary Queen of Scots which she spent in imprisonment at Lochleven Castle, her escape, the rally of her supporters and their defeat at the battle of Langside. With these historical events is woven the romantic story of Roland Avenel, over whose parentage hangs a certain mystery. He is sent by the Regent Murray to act as page to Mary Stuart in her imprisonment, with directions to watch and report any attempt at escape. Instead, he becomes an active agent in devising the queen´s flight. The Introductory Epistle to the First Edition informs the reader that the narrative is the continuation of the Benedictine manuscript from which Scott purported to have drawn his preceding novel The Monastery.
          Acerca de Sir Walter Scott

          Walter Scott wurde am 15. August 1771 in Edinburgh geboren. Seit dem ersten historischen Roman ›Waverley‹ von 1814 erzielte er unerhörte Verkaufserfolge und erlange Weltruhm. 1820 wurde er geadelt. Bereits 1813 geriet der Verlag, an dem er beteiligt war, in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, was sich 1826 wiederholte und Scott dem finanziellen Ruin nahe brachte. Durch frenetisches Schreiben gelang es ihm beide Male, seine Schulden zu tilgen. Nach mehreren Schlaganfällen starb er am 21. September 1832 in Abbotsford in Schottland.
