Heart of Midlothian, The

    0.01 sec.

Heart of Midlothian, The

Novel (1818) by Walter Scott. It centres around Effie Deans, imprisoned for alleged infanticide, and her half-sister, Jeanie Deans, who travels to London and obtains for her a pardon from Queen Caroline. The supposedly murdered child is revealed to have been kidnapped and brutalized; in ignorance, he kills the father who is searching for him. With its convincing and compassionate character studies and substantial social background it is probably the most accessible and lasting of all Scott's novels.
