Diana Gabaldon (b. 1952) was a professor of scientific communication at Arizona State University when she began writing Outlander in secret, with no intention of publishing it — she wanted, she has said, to write a novel in order to learn how, and she chose the eighteenth century partly because she knew little about it and could start without preconceptions. What she produced over the next several years was one of the most popular works of historical fiction of the late twentieth century: a novel that has now sold, across the series, more than fifty million copies worldwide, and that has generated a devoted readership of a kind more usually associated with fantasy fiction than with historical romance.
Claire Randall is a British combat nurse in 1945, on a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands with her husband Frank when she touches a standing stone at the ancient site of Craigh na Dun and is transported two hundred years back in time to 1743 Scotland, in the midst of the turbulent period preceding the Jacobite rising. She finds herself among a company of Highlanders including the young Jamie Fraser — a red-haired warrior of intelligence, honour, and physical presence — and is immediately confronted with the practical problems of surviving in a world wholly different from the one she has left, while being pulled simultaneously towards her own time and the life she has lost. The novel follows the development of the relationship between Claire and Jamie across the whole of its 752 pages with a patience and psychological detail that is rare in popular fiction of any kind.
Outlander was published in 1991 to immediate success, and the series it initiated — nine novels in total, with a tenth planned — has expanded to encompass a vast and intricately constructed world of Scottish, American colonial, and Revolutionary War history. The Starz television adaptation, first broadcast in 2014 and running for seven seasons to 2023, brought the series to an audience of millions who had not encountered the books, and significantly expanded the readership of the original novels. The Easton Press Signed Collector's Edition was produced in the same year the television series began — a coincidence of timing that gave this edition particular visibility in the market at the moment of its release.
Near fine. Some mild loss to cover gilt; a few scant markings along gilt edges. Otherwise fine throughout.
