Jane Porter

This pioneering historical novel is about the life of the Scottish patriot Sir William Wallace, who fought against the Normans for Scottish freedom. Published in 1810, it was one of the literary sources for the Academy Award-winning film, Braveheart, and remains popular in Scotland today.

Thaddeus of Warsaw by Jane Porter

Do the traitors think, cried Wallace, "that by robbing Scotland of her annals, and of that stone, that they really deprive her of her palladium? Fools fools Scotland's history is in the memories of her sons; her palladium is in their hearts; and Edward may one day find that she remembers the victory of Largs, and needs not talismans to give her freedom."
