Dorothy Kathleen Broster, commonly known as D. K. Broster (1877 – 1950), was a British author most notably recognized for her historical novels set in the highlands of Scotland. Born in Liverpool, Broster served as a Red Cross nurse during World War I, an experience that would add a layer of depth to her characterizations and themes of conflict and camaraderie within her literary works. After the war, she pursued writing full-time, drawing upon history for inspiration. Broster's literary style is characterized by a keen attention to historical detail and a flair for dramatic narratives. Her most celebrated work, 'The Jacobite Trilogy', comprising 'The Flight of the Heron' (1925), 'The Gleam in the North' (1927), and 'The Dark Mile' (1929), delves into the 1745 Jacobite uprising with vivid characterizations and a strong sense of place, which earned her a dedicated following. Broster's depiction of the ill-fated Jacobite cause and her exploration of loyalty and honor have cemented her status as an important figure in historical fiction. Though her literary output was not prolific, her works continue to be praised for their historical accuracy and narrative power, affording her a respected place in the pantheon of early 20th-century English literature.
