Creator Black, William, 1841-1898
Title White Heather: A Novel (Volume 1 of 3)
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "White Heather: A Novel (Volume 1 of 3)" by William Black is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Mr. Hodson, an American gentleman embarking on a journey to the remote Highlands of Scotland, where he seeks a respite from the drudgery of London life and perhaps adventure in the natural beauty of his new surroundings. The story introduces themes of social class, the complexities of human relationships, and the contrasting realities of various characters, particularly the amiable yet introspective gamekeeper Ronald Strang. At the start of the novel, we meet Mr. Hodson as he travels northward by train, escaping the dreariness of London for the vibrancy of Scotland. His character is revealed through conversations and interactions on the journey, showcasing his genuine interest in the lives of those he meets, including a kind-hearted conductor. Upon reaching a remote inn, he encounters Ronald, the gamekeeper, who is portrayed as an intelligent and able-bodied man confined to a lower social position. The interactions between the two suggest an exploration of class dynamics, while the romantic interests of local characters, especially the young Meenie Douglas, hint at deeper emotional currents that may develop in the unfolding tale.
