Outlander	comment	A series of novels by Diana Gabaldon. Claire Beauchamp Randall is taken back in time from 1946 to 1743, where she marries and begins a passionate love affair with Jamie Fraser, a Scottish Highlander. They face many dangers and political intrigues as they attempt to prevent the tragic battle of Culloden from happening. And that's more or less just the first two books. The later books span more than twenty years, expanding the focus of the novels beyond just the main couple to their families, their close friends, and the historical situation in general. Depending on whom you ask, they're romance novels or Historical Fiction — or a bit of both.Absolutely nothing to do with that film. Also not to be confused with Johji Manabe's manga series from the '80s (and the subsequent anime adaptation) titled Outlanders. Don't confuse it with the 2011 game Outland either.The books in order: Outlander (published as Cross Stitch in the UK) (1991) Dragonfly in Amber (1992) Voyager (1993) Drums of Autumn (1996) The Fiery Cross (2001) A Breath of Snow and Ashes (2005) An Echo in the Bone (2009) Written in My Own Heart's Blood (2014) Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone (2021)In July 2019, Gabaldon said on social media that an as-yet unstarted tenth book would be "the last of the main series."The main series has a spinoff of sorts, the Lord John series, focusing on the life of a secondary character featured in later books, Officer and a Gentleman (and Straight Gay) Lord John Grey.In 2013, Starz announced a TV adaptation with Ronald D. Moore at the helm. The series premiered on August 9, 2014. The works page for the television series is here.

Outlander / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: There's quite a lot of rape, mostly threatened for female characters but executed fairly even-handedly among the genders. Jamie, Fergus, an attempt on Jenny, Brianna, Claire herself, and in backstory, Lord John, come to mind.

Outlander / int_12eee2cf	type	Heal It with Booze
Outlander / int_12eee2cf	comment	Heal It with Booze: Played with and referenced a few ways: When Claire first arrives in the 18th century and asks for a disinfectant for Jamie's wounds, the men stare at her in confusion until she finally asks for alcohol, at which point they give her some scotch. Alcohol is shown to be an integral part of Claire's medical treatment, though a non-trivial number of people seem to resent the loss of perfectly good booze. Even Jamie, who knows that alcohol disinfects germs, isn't thrilled when Claire uses top quality brandy to treat his gunshot wound. When Claire herself has to have an open wound washed out with alcohol (she protests, but Jamie has by this point come to believe in the importance of doing so, and insists), she recounts it as the most agonizing experience of her life, even over giving birth (and she later describes labor with Brianna being so difficult she thought she was going to die). She notes that battle-hardened Highland warriors, who could sit totally stoic as she set their bones or sutured cuts, would shriek like banshees when she used alcohol to disinfect a gash.

Outlander / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: The MacKenzie siblings (Ellen, Colum, Dougal, and Jocasta). The MacKenzie's as a whole are said to be "charming as larks in the field, and sly as foxes with it". Colum is an extremely smart laird who favors keeping the clan's options open; Dougal is openly pleasant (when it suits him) but can be harsh and callous, with pronounced Honor Before Reason Blood Knight tendencies; Jocasta is manipulative and autocratic, with a ruthless streak which could give Dougal a run for his money. Even Jamie's mother Ellen had her moments: she didn't want to marry the man her father was thinking of, so her solution was to sleep with Brian Fraser and intentionally get pregnant outside of matrimony, forcing her family to accept their marriage or take a hit to their social reputation from her actions.

Outlander / int_197b546a	comment	Scarpia Ultimatum: This one happens at least twice, allowing Jamie and Claire each to make the Sadistic Choice. When Jamie is held captive in Wentworth Prison by Jack Randall, Claire tries to rescue him and is caught by Randall. Jamie offers to let Randall torture him in whatever way he wants — including rape/coerced sex — for Claire's freedom. Later in the story, when Jamie is in a French prison for dueling (with Randall of course), Claire makes a bargain with the king, exchanging sex for her husband's release. (A third, variant version occurs with Bree and Stephen Bonnet — for the sake of a plot-important wedding ring.)

Young Ian is forced to go get the adults, who playfully mock the mortified William as they work to find a way to get him out. However, when they realize that the boys also dropped Lord John's very expensive military pistol (hard to replace in Colonial America) in the muck, they make Young Ian go in to retrieve it in spite of his complaints that the pit will destroy his clothes and take days to get the smell off of his skin. Even 10 years later (6 books later in the series), William is still embarrassed when he recalls having fallen into in the waste pit.

Jamie beats up Roger and sends him off with an Indian man to be sold to the Iroquois because he mistakenly thinks Roger was the man who raped his daughter Brianna, unaware at this point it was Stephen Bonnet who raped her. When Jamie catches Jonathan Randall molesting Fergus as a child, he challenges Randall to a duel to the death. Jamie kills Ellesmere without a second thought when Ellesmere threatens to drop his newborn son William out a window. Frank for his adoptive daughter Brianna. In Written, Brianna finds a letter that Frank left for her when she was fifteen, and in it he states that even though he doesn't know whether or not to believe Claire's stories, his investigations have convinced him that Brianna herself could be in danger from people who do, and that he intends to confront and "neutralize" them. Given that Frank was a member of MI6 (the British Secret Intelligence Service), Brianna understands he was more than capable of killing someone to keep her safe.

He does eventually get captured, and Brianna doles out a Mercy Kill (saving him from his worst nightmare, death by drowning), with a gunshot to the head in Breath. Arch Bug becomes this to Ian after Ian mistakenly kills Murdina; he refuses to admit that Ian acted to save Jamie's life and says that he will wait until Ian has "something worth taking", and he shows up to menace Ian several times. He finally learns about Rachel Hunter and tries to kill her, but Ian and Rollo put up enough of a delaying struggle that William Ransom arrives to save the day with a pistol shot.

Fergus, Marsali and their children are implied to be fluent in English, French (from Fergus) and Gaelic (from Marsali).

Lampshaded at one point when Roger mentions that Hiram Crombie's elderly mother-in-law had died in her sleep, and comments that she must have been at least 80. Claire dryly tells Roger that "Old Mrs. Wilson" was only five years older than Claire herself (in her late 50s at the time).

Though she settles in after a while, she continues to be seen as unusual, as much for her outspoken nature as for her medical skills. Donner even lampshades this in Breath, telling Claire that he suspected she was a time-traveler because she wasn't sufficiently afraid of the other men. On the other hand, by later books she seems far more at home in the 18th century than she was in the 20th. Certainly she's more comfortable in the 18th century than Donner himself.

Jamie, on the other hand, is furious, even though he knows Brianna was raped by Bonnet not long afterward, making the question of Brianna's virginity something of a moot point. As Brianna's due date grows closer, both she and Claire are blase about Brianna being an unmarried mother, while Jamie and Jocasta go to great lengths to find her a new husband.

When Claire asks her how many husbands she's had, she pauses for a minute to count, then says she's had five husbands since she came to the past. So that's not even counting Greg Edgars. When Claire seems shocked, Geillis casually caresses an arsenic bottle in her store room and tells Claire that the tropics are a "very unhealthy atmosphere for an Englishman." In Plague of Zombies, it's suggested that Geillis murdered her husband and told everyone the plantation had been attacked by the nearby maroons.

In Brianna's case, he urges Claire to return to the safety of modern life with Frank because their own circumstances in the 18th-century are dire — he will be hunted by both the British and clans and the Battle of Colluden is about to start. In William's case, Jamie stays with William for as long as he can but when people start to notice the resemblance between himself and William, which could lead to the realization that William is not the legitimate son of the late Earl of Ellesmere, Jamie leaves to ensure William's safety. Jamie asks Lord John to be a father to his son in his place.

However, only after the first couple of books did she acquire the help of a Gaelic speaker, so there were some early problems in that area, as noted by her in The Outlandish Companion. Some of her French sentences have some problems as well, eg. "Reste d'retour! Oui, le tout!" in A Breath of Snow and Ashes, chapter 56, which doesn't mean "Stay back, all of you!" as Gabaldon mentions (but rather something like "Rest back! Yes, all!" which makes little sense) in French. There are strange usages of both French and German that stem from the evolution of those languages since the 1700s.

Later lampshaded at one point when Brianna makes a joke to several women on the Ridge about an uptight male character having a secret collection of women's underwear, leading them to ask confusedly if she means "shifts and stays." Realizing she's misstepped, Brianna hastily talks about lacey French things.
