The Abbot
by Walter Scott
"The Abbot" by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in 1820. A sequel to "The Monastery," it dramatizes the imprisonment and daring escape of Mary, Queen of Scots from Lochleven Castle in 1567-1568. The story follows young Roland Graeme, a spirited page caught between political loyalties and romantic desire, as he becomes entangled in the queen's fate. Religious conflict, secret identities, and courtly intrigue converge as Mary's supporters plot her liberation, leading toward her climactic defeat at Langside and final departure from Scotland.
