Rob Roy MacGregor was baptised #OTD, 7 March, 1671. Two centuries years before #Marvel & #StarWars, @profdanielcook.bsky.social argues, Walter Scott’s novel about the Scottish outlaw helped create today’s fascination with “the anti-hero, the reluctant rebel”

Two centuries before Marvel and Star Wars, Walter Scott’s Rob Roy was the first modern anti-hero
Of all his characters, Sir Walter Scott’s outlaw Rob Roy appealed most to the public and has paved the way for outsider heroes ever since.
