I do not like him, and I do not mean to like 'Waverly' if I can help it -- but fear I must." AnnotationUsually considered the first 'historical" novel in English, "Waverly" is set at the time of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. Edward Waverly, a young Englishman--and, like Scott, a romantic who idealizes the noble, rugged Highlanders, is sent to Scotland, where he is caught up in the pretender's cause. The hero's journey of self-discovery takes place in a country torn by civil war, as the old order is breaking down. Scott--who thought of himself as a poet--published this first novel anonymously, but it was such a rousing success that he devoted himself to fiction.
