Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Robert Rowe, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Waverley; Or, 'Tis Sixty Years Since — Volume 2" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows Edward Waverley, a young Englishman who becomes embroiled in the Jacobite uprising of 1745, as he navigates conflicts between loyalties, love, and identity against a backdrop of Scottish history and culture. The opening of this volume begins with Edward Waverley, who is currently being escorted by Mr. Gilfillan and his party after a tumultuous series of events that involved him being captured. The conversation between Waverley and his captors highlights the religious tensions of the time, with Gilfillan disparaging Waverley's Anglican faith. The narrative swiftly escalates when Highlanders ambush them, leading to chaos; Waverley is injured and subsequently rescued by the Highlanders. As he is taken to a remote hut, we see Waverley’s worries about his destiny and recover as he remains surrounded by mysterious Highlanders, pondering the intentions of his captors, and the presence of an enigmatic female figure who he suspects might be closely connected to him. This blend of action, historical context, and character introspection sets the stage for further developments in Waverley's journey.
