The Antiquary — Volume 01 by Walter Scott
"The Antiquary — Volume 01" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1816. Set in Scotland during the 1790s, it follows the eccentric antiquary Jonathan Oldbuck and the mysterious Lovel, whose forbidden love for Isabella Wardour drives the plot. Their journey weaves through ancient ruins, disputed antiquities, and seaside rescues. When a duel over honor threatens everything, secrets begin to surface alongside buried treasure. Scott's favorite among his own works, this
comic novel of manners explores how the past shapes the present in Scottish society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
