Charmed by clan leader Fergus MacIvor and his sister Flora, he allies himself with the Jacobite cause � a bold and dangerous move. He finds himself caught between two women � feisty Flora and demure Rose � proving that love can be just as powerful as politics.First published in 1814, Waverley is widely regarded as the first historical novel in the western tradition. This new edition celebrates the 200th anniversary of its publication, and has been expertly reworked for modern readers by Jenni Calder.Walter Scott has no business to write novels, especially good ones. It is not fair. He has Fame and Profit enough as a Poet, and should not be taking the bread out of other people’s mouths. I do not like him, and do not mean to like Waverley if I can help it � but fear I must.JANE AUSTENThe best book by Sir Walter Scott.GOETHEOne of the things I have always admired about him is that he goes for the big picture.
