"Waverley" is noteworthy not only in being the author's first novel, but also because it gives a fine panorama of an important historic period. The story is written around the Jacobite insurrection of 1745, led by Prince Charles Edward Stuart in the endeavor to place his exiled father upon the English throne. It deals closely with Scotch people and customs. Edward Waverley, the hero, is a young English gentleman, prospective heir to his uncle's large estate. As a means of completing his education, he is sent with a captain's commission to join the regiment of Colonel Gardiner, stationed in Scotland. Affairs in camp not being of warlike nature at this time, he obtains an extended leave of absence, to visit his uncle's friend, Bradwardine, baron of an estate at Tully-Veolan. Several weeks are spent with the worthy old Scotch veteran and his pretty daughter, Rose. At this juncture the baron's cattle are driven off by Donald Bean Lean's band of freebooters, and a "go-between" visits the baron to obtain "blackmail" for their return ...

The Waverley Novels is a long series of novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). For nearly a century, they were among the most popular and widely read novels in all of Europe. Because Scott did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, the series takes its name from Waverley, the first novel of the series released in 1814. The later books bore the words "by the author of Waverley" on their title pages. The Tales of my Landlord sub-series was not advertised as "by the author of Waverley" and thus is not always included as part of the Waverley Novels series.

Excerpt from The Waverley Dictionary: An Alphabetical Arrangement of All the Characters in Sir Walter Scott's Waverley Novels, With a Descriptive Analysis of Each Character, and Illustrative Selections From the Text "Up to the era of Sir Walter Scott living people had some vague general, indistinct notions about dead people mouldering away to nothing, centuries ago, in regular kirk-yards and chance burial-places, "Mang muirs and mosses many, O, ' somewhere or other in that difficultly distinguished and very debatable district called the Borders. All at once he touched their tombs with a divining rod, and the turf streamed out ghosts, some in woodmen's dresses, most in warrior's mail; queer archers leaped forth, with yew bows and quivers, and giants stalked, shaking spears! The gray chronicler smiled, and, taking up his pen, wrote in lines of light the annals of the chivalrous and heroic days of auld feudal Scotland. The nation then, for the first time, knew the character of its ancestors; for these were not spectres - not they, indeed nor phantoms of the brain, but gaunt flesh and blood, or glad and glorious; - base-born cottage churls of the olden times, because Scottish, became familiar to the love of the nations heart, and so to its pride did the high-born lineage of palace kings. We know now the character of our own people as it showed itself in war and peace in palace, castle, hall, hut, hovel and shieling - through centuries of advancing civilization, from the time when Edinburgh was yeleped Auld Reekie down to the period when the bright idea first occurred to her inhabitants to call her the Modern Athens."
