E-text prepared by Audrey Longhurst and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Claverhouse" by Mowbray Morris is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on John Graham, Viscount of Dundee, also known as Claverhouse, a controversial figure in Scottish history, known for his fierce loyalty to the royalist cause during a time of religious and political upheaval. Morris delves into Claverhouse's life, character, and the tumultuous events surrounding his reputation, drawing on various historical sources and testimonies from those who knew him. The opening of the biography sets the stage by introducing Claverhouse’s lineage and the sociopolitical landscape of Scotland during his early years. It notes the ambiguity surrounding his birth but establishes him as a member of an ancient noble family. The narrative highlights his academic pursuits at the University of Saint Andrews and suggests his military aspirations were influenced by the turbulent historical context of the 17th century. Morris emphasizes the contrasting perceptions of Claverhouse—from idolized by Jacobites to reviled by Covenanters—suggesting a complex character shaped by the fierce loyalties and conflicts of his time. This opening lays the groundwork for an in-depth exploration of Claverhouse's life and the controversies inherent to his legacy.
