The Romance of War; or, The Highlanders in France and Belgium, A Sequel to the Highlanders in Spain
Produced by Al Haines
"The Romance of War; or, The Highlanders in France and Belgium" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a sequel to "The Highlanders in Spain" and chronicles the experiences of a Highland regiment during the latter part of the Napoleonic Wars, with particular focus on their adventures in France and Belgium. The central character appears to be Ronald Stuart, a British officer of the Highland brigade, who finds himself embroiled in various challenges that test his mettle and resolve. The opening of the novel sets the scene in the aftermath of the Peninsula War, where the troops eagerly await their return home, and introduces key elements of camaraderie and anticipation among the soldiers. The narrative quickly shifts focus to Ronald Stuart's urgent mission to deliver a despatch, which propels him through various landscapes and leads to numerous encounters with both friend and foe. The chapter showcases his interactions with his comrades, as well as the conflicts and dangers awaiting him, particularly hinting at the turmoil and intrigue that will develop as he navigates the treacherous terrain of post-war Spain. It establishes a tone of adventure and anticipation, promising readers an exciting blend of action, romance, and historical context. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
