Line 34:
Jeanie Deans is the first woman among Scott's [[protagonist]]s, and also the first to come from the lower classes. While the heroine is idealized for her religious devotion and her moral rectitude, Scott nevertheless ridicules the moral certitude represented by the branch of Presbyterianism known as [[Cameronian]]s, represented in the novel by Jeanie’s father David. Also central to the novel is the early-18th century [[Jacobitism]], a theme found in so many of Scott’s novels. Scott’s sympathies can be seen in the ideal figure of the Duke of Argyll, a moderate on these issues.
The Heart of Midlothian has been adapted for the screen once, in 1914, and for television once, in 1966.
