  • ""Set at the time of the Third Crusade (1189-92), The Betrothed is the first of Scott's Tales of the Crusaders, and although set in the Welsh Marches it is a crusading novel in that it is about those who stayed at home. The betrothed is Eveline, daughter of a Norman warrior, who is a victim of the Crusade in that her intended husband is required by the Church to fulfil his vow to take the Cross. He departs for three years. The full horror of an arranged marriage, and of being a 'prize' as men seek to gain possession of her is vividly realised - the heroine is never free; her fate is always determined by the agency of men." "The Betrothed is a problem novel in that it was deeply disliked by Scott's printer and publisher who forced significant changes. What Scott was required to do to meet their objections has been confronted for the first time in this, the first critical edition of the novel."--Jacket."@en

  • "A sordid tale of Eveline Berenger and the de Lacys involving love, loss, seeming betrayal, and redemption."@en
  • "The Betrothed is the first of the two novels in the Tales of the Crusaders series by Sir Walter Scott. Although the book sold well, Scott was critical of his work, telling his biographer that it was "the dreariest and stupidest book ever produced by a writer of genius.""@en
  • "The Betrothed is an 1825 novel, by Sir Walter Scott. It is the first part of the Tales of the Crusaders, along with The Talisman. Scott himself was pessimistic about the success of the book, and Hesketh Pearson, his biographer has written:"The Betrothed was clearly composed in a somnolent if not stertorous condition, and would score high marks in a competition to decide which was the dreariest and stupidest book ever produced by a writer of genius." (Walter Scott: His Life and Personality, p. 54)-- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."@en
