My Lady of Aros and Other Novels (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

With advice on its plot and characterisation and praise for its "zest" from Neil Munro, the novel My Lady of Aros was published in 1910.

In 1923 he published the novel The Captain More, a re-working and extension of the ideas of his play Glenforsa.

Perhaps, outside his plays, the most interesting achievement of his later literary work is his third and final novel Strawfeet (1930). This deals with the First World War and is set partly on Mull and partly in France on the Western Front.

Like My Lady of Aros it deals again with espionage and betrayal but this time in contemporary life. Brandane is one of the few Scots to have written a novel dealing with the First World War.

In 1935 he found the demands of medical practice in the city and authorship too heavy. He returned to the Highlands to rural practice in Lochgoilhead in Argyll. He died there on 17th October, 1947.
