About the Book

Le Pirate (The Pirate) est un roman de Walter Scott paru en 1821, dans la série des Waverley Novels. Il se propose de faire découvrir au lecteur les moeurs, les coutumes et les superstitions qui étaient celles des Shetlandais à la fin du XVIIe siècle, c'est-à-dire avant que les Écossais n'imposent les leurs. Contexte historique; Conquises par les Vikings au IXe siècle, les îles Shetland restent norvégiennes durant cinq siècles. En 1472, pour une affaire de dot impayée (mariage de Jacques III d'Écosse et de la fille de Christian Ier de Danemark et de Norvège), l'Écosse annexe les Shetland. Cependant, en cette fin de XVIIe siècle, des divisions affaiblissent l'oppresseur écossais, dans son propre pays: les montagnards s'arment contre les habitants des basses-terres, les williamites contre les jacobites, les whigs contre les tories. Et l'Angleterre s'arme contre l'Écosse. Comme souvent dans ses romans historiques, Walter Scott saisit le moment où l'ordre ancien (les vieilles coutumes norvégiennes, incarnées dans Magnus Troil) s'apprête à laisser la place à l'ordre nouveau (le féodalisme écossais, représenté par Yellowley). Dans les dernières pages, l'arrivée de la frégate anglaise Alcyon (l'oiseau d'heureux présage) annonce même la prise en main par le Parlement de Londres des intérêts des commerçants écossais (représentés ici par les marchands de Kirkwall): les actes d'Union, une dizaine d'années plus tard, donneront naissance à la Grande-Bretagne.
About the Author: Walter Scott (Sir Walter Scott, 1er baronnet) est un poète et écrivain écossais né le 15 août 1771 à Édimbourg et mort le 21 septembre 1832 à Abbotsford. Avocat de formation, amateur d'antiquités[2], il parcourt d'abord l'Écosse à la recherche de son passé. Au tournant du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècles, il se lance dans la littérature, publiant des textes anciens (Sir Tristrem) ou appartenant à la tradition populaire (dans Les Chants de ménestrels de la frontière écossaise) ainsi que des poèmes de son cru, comme La Dame du lac. Puis, devant la gloire montante de Lord Byron, il se tourne vers le roman écossais (Waverley), avant d'évoluer vers le roman historique, avec Ivanhoé (1819) et Quentin Durward (1823). C'est l'un des plus célèbres auteurs écossais avec David Hume de Godscroft, David Hume, Adam Smith, Robert Burns ou Robert Louis Stevenson, traditionnellement surnommé le Magicien du Nord (Wizard of the North)[3]. Il est également, avec Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley ou Keats, l'une des plus illustres figures du romantisme britannique. Père du roman historique, il a contribué à forger une image romantique de l'Écosse et de son histoire. C'est à lui, notamment, que l'on doit le retour de l'usage du tartan et du kilt[4], dont le port avait été interdit par une loi du Parlement en 1746.
