Summary "Old Mortality, Volume 2" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written during the early 19th century. The narrative unfolds amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Covenanter struggles in Scotland, where the interplay of personal stakes and larger political conflicts creates rich drama. Central to the story is Henry Morton, a character navigating his loyalties between the insurgent forces and the garrison of Tillietudlem, fortifying his own personal principles against the chaos of civil war. The beginning of the second volume introduces readers to the dynamics within the camp of the presbyterian army, as Morton arrives at a chaotic council meeting full of discord among its leaders. Burley, a key figure, advocates for strength and unity, attempting to quell the fervent debates caused by differing zealot factions within the group. As Morton becomes involved with the insurgents, he grapples with the moral implications of their violent strategies and his personal connections to those they oppose, especially Lady Margaret and Edith from Tillietudlem. Tensions rise as they prepare for a siege at the castle, revealing profound dilemmas surrounding loyalty, justice, and the cost of their rebellion amidst stirring oratory and impassioned discussion.
