Edited with an Introduction by Andrew Hook. The first romantic historical novel
and international bestseller, Waverley (1814) tells the story of Edward
Waverley, a naďve, sensitive young man who is posted to Scotland with his
regiment, and becomes caught between the clans of the Jacobite Rising and the
forces of the Hanoverian regime. He must decide whether he will follow the
civilization he has always known, or be drawn into an older world of honour and
loyalty - and must also choose between the quiet, constant Rose, and the
passionate, principled Flora.
