The relationship of lords and their men between the feudal era and modern times has perplexed many historians and persuaded some of the decadence of later medieval society. The Scottish nobility of the 15th and 16th century have long been renowned for their self-seeking lawlessness.

Since the beginning of recorded history, few people have fought longer and harder for their freedom and independence than the inhabitants of the diminutive nation of Scotland. From their earliest history they fought; Scots against the Picts; Scots against the Romans; and Scots against the English. Though outnumbered ten to one, for three centuries they fought with the English enduring many massacres, including King Edward I's annihilation, in 1296 A.D., of 8,000 men, women and children in the town of Berwick, held by Scotland at the time. By the start of the sixteenth century, there was a clear line between the two countries, a line that was repeatedly crossed by raiders (reivers) on both sides and many a skirmish escalated to a bloody battle. This relentless fighting continued until King James VI of Scotland was crowned King James I of England in 1603. Scottish resistance to the numerically superior English was sustained by powerful families in the Borders, such as the Scotts, the Kerrs, and especially the family of Humes led by the Lords of Hume Castle. This is the story of their struggle; their victories and defeats; their loves and losses; their trials and tribulations during a time of indecisive rulers, a crumbling Church, witchcraft and unimaginable treason, treachery and murder. Though a work of fiction, all the main events and characters were gleaned from the chronicles of Scottish history.

Bright was the summer of 1296. The war which had desolated Scotland was then at an end. Ambition seemed satiated; and the vanquished, after having passed under the yoke of their enemy, concluded they might wear their chains in peace. Such were the hopes of those Scottish noblemen who, early in the preceding spring, had signed the bond of submission to a ruthless conqueror, purchasing life at the price of all that makes life estimable-liberty and honor. Prior to this act of vassalage, Edward I., King of England, had entered Scotland at the head of an immense army. He seized Berwick by stratagem; laid the country in ashes; and, on the field of Dunbar, forced the Scottish king and his nobles to acknowledge him their liege lord. But while the courts of Edward, or of his representatives, were crowded by the humbled Scots, the spirit of one brave man remained unsubdued. Disgusted alike at the facility with which the sovereign of a warlike nation could resign his people and his crown into the hands of a treacherous invader, and at the pusillanimity of the nobles who had ratified the sacrifice, William Wallace retired to the glen of Ellerslie. Withdrawn from the world, he hoped to avoid the sight of oppressions he could not redress, and the endurance of injuries beyond his power to avenge. Thus checked at the opening of life in the career of glory that was his passion-secluded in the bloom of manhood from the social haunts of men—he repressed the eager aspirations of his mind, and strove to acquire that resignation to inevitable evils which alone could reconcile him to forego the promises of his youth, and enable him to view with patience a humiliation of Scotland, which blighted her honor, menaced her existence, and consigned her sons to degradation or obscurity. The latter was the choice of Wallace. Too noble to bend his spirit to the usurper, too honest to affect submission, he resigned himself to the only way left of maintaining the independence of a true Scot; and giving up the world at once, all the ambitions of youth became extinguished in his breast, since nothing was preserved in his country to sanctify their fires. Scotland seemed proud of her chains. Not to share in such debasement, appeared all that was now in his power; and within the shades of Ellerslie he found a retreat and a home, whose sweets beguiling him of every care, made him sometimes forget the wrongs of his country in the tranquil enjoyments of wedded love.

Each of the writings this book deals with were influenced by and capitalized on certain aspects of Scottish culture in the late-18th and early 19th centuries and those cultural influences combined to forge a rhetorical approach that practically guaranteed the Scottish men of letters a dominant place in the public sphere. This book covers the Edinburgh Review in and as the public sphere 1802-08; Christopher North and the review essay as conversational exhibition; Lockhart's modified amateurism and the shame of authorship; and the Presbyterian sermon, Carlyle's homiletic essays, and Scottish periodical writing.
