| Summary | "Waverley; Or, 'Tis Sixty Years Since — Volume 1" by Sir Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story is set during a pivotal time in Scottish history, capturing the political and cultural tensions of the Jacobite uprising. It follows the adventures of Edward Waverley, a young Englishman who leaves his family to join the army and finds himself entangled in the complex conflicts between the Highlanders and the government forces. At the start of the novel, Edward Waverley is introduced as the main character who, in the year 1805, reflects upon his earlier life sixty years prior, highlighting his familial relationships and the contrasting political ideologies of his family members. The opening chapters reveal Edward's inclination towards romance and adventure, influenced by his indulgent reading habits and the captivating tales recounted by his relatives. His interactions with his uncle, Sir Everard, and the impact of the family legacy on his upbringing set the stage for his journey, both personal and historical, as he navigates the challenges presented by his dual allegiances and the turbulent backdrop of Scotland's past.
