Dorothy
Dunnett earned
worldwide acclaim for the masterful blending of historical fact and
imagination
in her two series of novels set in brilliantly reconstructed fifteenth-
and sixteenth-century landscapes. The Dorothy Dunnett Companion
Volume
II is a beautifully presented, encyclopaedic resource that
completes
and expands the reach of the first Companion in documenting the
historical
and literary riches of Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles and House of
Niccolò
novels.
In
this second
guide, Elspeth Morrison not only covers the final three Niccolò
novels for the first time, but also provides a wealth of additional
information
about all of the earlier books and highlights the links between the two
now-completed series. Once again, she illuminates the real figures and
events and the cultural and literary allusions Dunnett weaves into her
works, translating foreign phrases and offering up fascinating
background
details, from the lords of Aubigny to Zacco King of Cyprus, via
manners,
medicine, monasteries and Mystery Plays. Together with the first
Companion,
Volume II provides a complete and essential guide to the world of
Lymond
and Niccolò.
