"Waverley; or, 'Tis sixty years since — Volume 1" by Walter Scott is a historical novel published in 1814. Young English gentleman Edward Waverley receives a military commission in a Scottish regiment on the eve of the 1745 Jacobite uprising. During leave, he discovers his host, Baron Bradwardine, supports the exiled Jacobite prince Charles Edward Stuart. Drawn into Highland society and captivated by the romantic rebel cause, Waverley faces an agonizing choice between Crown loyalty and Jacobite sympathy—a decision that will test his honor on both sides of a dangerous rebellion.
