Qventin Durward by Walter Scott
"Qventin Durward" by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in 1823. Set during the conflict between French King Louis XI and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, the story captures a pivotal moment in European history. The novel explores the decline of medieval chivalric ideals and the rise of centralized state power. Scott dramatizes the clash between Charles's feudal heroism and warrior values against Louis's cunning political realism, portraying a world
where ancient codes of honor give way to modern statecraft and calculated self-interest. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
