"Waverley; Or, 'Tis Sixty Years Since" by Sir Walter Scott is a novel written in the early 19th century that explores themes of national identity and romantic adventure in Scotland. The story follows Edward Waverley, a young Englishman caught in the turmoil of the Jacobite uprisings of the 1740s, as he navigates his loyalties and aspirations amid the struggles between Scottish clans and English forces. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces the context of Edward's upbringing and his initial travels. It describes his journey from England to Scotland, where he becomes embroiled in the political and social complexities of Scottish life. As he encounters various characters, including the noble Lord Lacy and the fierce Border Rider Adam Kerr, the atmosphere is charged with tension and promise of adventure. This opening portion sets the stage for Edward's internal conflicts and external challenges, hinting at the romantic and heroic elements that will unfold as he aligns himself with the conflicting sentiments of loyalty and love in a region fraught with historical significance.
