Notes
Description
The Antiquary: The third of Scott's (1771-1832) Waverly Novels is set in Scotland in the last years of the 18th century, and centers around Jonathan Oldbuck, the antiquary, the closest to a self-portrait of any of Scott's characters.
Description
Old Mortality (1816), which many consider the finest of Scott's Waverley novels, is a swift-moving historical romance that places an anachronistically liberal hero against the forces of fanaticism in seventeenth-century Scotland, in the period infamous as the `killing time'. Its central character, Henry Morton, joins the rebels in order to fight Scotland's royalist oppressors, little as he shares the Covenanters' extreme religious beliefs. He is torn between his love for a royalist's granddaughter and his loyalty to his downtrodden countrymen.
