THE ROMANCE OF WAR OR THE HIGHLANDERS IN FRANC...

This work follows the experiences of a young Scottish Highlander  Ronald Stuart  who enters the
92nd regiment of foot  the Gordon Highlanders as an ensign. He joins the division in Spain soon
after and stays with Gordons for the rest of the Napoleonic Wars. The plot contains several
amusing adventures of Stuart that include rescuing half of the noble ladies of Spain  dealing
with problematic prisoners of the war  and trying to escape from his rival. Although the story
is based on the Peninsular war  it is much more than a retelling of it from Stuart's
perspective. Following a sentimental tone  Grant writes with energy  passion  and authority
about his native country and its inhabitants. Grant's portrayal of Spain and Spaniards makes it
more attractive as he presents such a balanced account of the Spanish people in the Peninsular
War that not many British authors could during that time.
