Rob Roy Review

Rob Roy review: why this book belongs in the catalog

This Rob Roy review reads Rob Roy as a history or ideas book that uses the promises of history or ideas book to test institutions, evidence, public argument, historical scale, intellectual conflict, and the danger of over-simple explanations. Rob Roy belongs first on the history and ideas shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward literary fiction, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for Rob Roy.

The main reason to review Rob Roy is not reputation alone. Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy gives readers a specific problem to test: how a work handles institutions, evidence, public argument, historical scale, intellectual conflict, and the danger of over-simple explanations. That question is more useful than asking whether Rob Roy is simply famous, popular, difficult, comforting, or culturally familiar.

What Rob Roy is doing
