His character is fashioned through his experience of the Jacobite rising of 1745-6, the last civil war fought on British soil and the unsuccessful attempt to reinstate the Stuart monarchy, represented by Prince Charles Edward. Waverley's love for the spirited Flora MacIvor and his romantic nature increasingly pull him towards the Jacobite cause, and test his loyalty to the utmost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eWaverley\u003c\/em\u003e, Scott invented the historical novel in its modern form and profoundly influenced the development of the European and American novel for a century at least. \u003cem\u003eWaverley\u003c\/em\u003e asks the reader to consider how history is shaped, who owns it, and what it means to live in it - questions as vital at the beginning of the twenty-first century as the nineteenth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cem\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/em\u003e has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
