Summary "The Antiquary — Volume 01" by Sir Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in Scotland during the late 18th century, the story revolves around Jonathan Oldbuck, an antiquary, and his interactions with a variety of characters that reflect the manners and social hierarchies of the period. The novel explores themes of antiquity, social class, and the quirks of human nature through Oldbuck's scholarly pursuits and his relationships within the community of Fairport. The opening of the book introduces readers to the character of Jonathan Oldbuck, who demonstrates a blend of eccentricity and scholarly passion. As he awaits a coach to Queensferry, he is characterized by his witty banter and frustration with the tardiness of transportation. Accompanied by a younger traveler, whom we learn is named Lovel, Oldbuck's antiquarian interests become apparent through his conversations about Roman artifacts and history. The chapter establishes the humorous tone, richly layered character dynamics, and the setting that will serve as a backdrop for the unfolding narrative, setting the stage for further exploration of antiquity and the characters entangled in Oldbuck’s pursuits.
