Munro, Neil: John Splendid, New York Dodd, Mead 1899
Near Fine

8vo. Second American edition, the first being 1898. Decorative blue cloth with silver, red and black decoration, silver titles. Neil Munro (1863-1930) was born in the little town of Inveraray, Scotland near the head of Loch Fyne in Argyll, an area of exceptional beauty which was to influence him all his life. Both his mother and grandmother were native speakers of Gaelic and it is from them that the young Neil received his knowledge of the old language and culture.In addition to the journalistic writing he tried his hand at a thriller and also sent humorous sketches to the London paper The Globe, but he was to make his first real mark on the literary scene in 1896 with the publication of his completely innovative collection The Lost Pibroch and Other Sheiling Stories. These were soon followed after a serialisation in Blackwood's Magazine by the publication in book form of his first novel John Splendid (1898) - which could be argued to be the first truly authentic Highland novel. Like most of Munro's novels it is set in a period of major social change. It deals with the sack of Inveraray by Montrose and his subsequent victory at the battle of Inverlochy in 1645. It also explores the Highland character under stress, particularly in the persons of Gillesbeg Gruamach, the marquis of Argyll, who is anxious to move on from clan warfare to the more peaceful ways of commerce and the rule of law, and his clansman Iain Alainn, John Splendid himself, a swaggering miles gloriosus figure whose loyalty permits him to humour his chief and yield to his whims until, finally convinced of his cowardice, he rebels.
