Bonnie Prince Charlie by David Daiches
This biography looks at the man, the period and its significance in Scottish history by brushing away the dust of legend that blurs the image of the young pretender. The author makes clear how Charles Edward became the Bonnie Prince Charlie of legend and folk memory. As the biography is based almost entirely on contemporary sources, Charles emerges directly from 18th century Europe with all its political and dynastic intrigue and the insights into familiar and unfamiliar events which emerge explain the unwavering appeal that the prince has exerted for so long.
Dr David Daiches CBE was born in Scotland, became Professor of English at Sussex University and is a prolific writer on Literature, much of which is or has been published by Penguin, as well as being the biographer of Charles Edward Stuart, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns.
