Waverley | |
| Waverley | comment |
Walter Scott's first novel, which is often considered to be the first work of Historical Fiction. The novel followed the title character, the young English gentleman Edward Waverley, as he falls in with a group of Scottish rebels during the 1745 Jacobite Uprising.This novel lent its name to Walter Scott's entire oeuvre as the "Waverley novels", since he wrote them anonymously, and every one between this and 1827 was credited to "The Author Of Waverley".The main railway station in Edinburgh (not far from the Scott Monument) is named after it, quite possibly the only instance of a railway station being named after a novel. | |

Noble Savage | |
| Waverley / int_121865ac | comment |
Noble Savage: the Scottish rebels. Played painfully straight. Sometimes subverted. Many of the rebels are rustlers, or racketeers. Some are political schemers and some poor folk armed with nothing but Torches and Pitchforks. And they often quarrel over precedance in a manner contrary to the interests of their cause. Even Fergus and Flora are to some degree Frenchified, making them less "pure" example's of savages. Inverted with Talbot, who is portrayed as more noble than his Scottish captors by dint of being "civilized" | |

Kangaroo Court: Subverted. No one suggests that Fergus' trial isn't as fair as can be expected under the circumstances, even Fergus, although everyone knows the outcome. Talbot points out that Fergus may be an admirable person in many ways but he was clearly not a silly boy like Waverley. While Fergus defies the judges by pointing out that if the judges don't execute him they have to execute themselves as either he is a rebel or they are. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Waverley first feels this when the Jacobites march through his father's estate and later when he meets his own former regiment in battle. Flora feels this when Fergus is sentenced to death and she feels responsible for prodding him into revolt with her own Jacobite fanaticism. According to notes Charles(who was certainly not New Meat at the time of the revolt) couldn't bring himself to take pleasure in his victory at Preston, because he considered the dead English to be his Father's subjects. | |

| Waverley / int_bc3cb7ff | comment |
Clear My Name: Waverley is accused of instigating defection in the British regiment he is in. All the Whig characters are relieved that nothing of the kind happened and that he didn't join the Jacobites until resigning his commission so his honor is intact. Waverley could still theoretically be executed for treason and several of his friends are. But that is just for picking the wrong side in a Civil War, not being an oathbreaker so there is Nothing Personal. | |

The Dulcinea Effect: Waverley does this with Flora MacIvor, although he is volunteering for a cause and not fighting for her specifically. Flora later feels guilty over the effect of her personality wondering if her urgings had ended up as the cause of her brother's death.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Waverley / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In the notes, a story is told of a real Jacobite who saved the life of a defeated Hanoverian. In return the Hanoverian begged his life, in much the same way. | |

Torches and Pitchforks | |
| Waverley / int_e529d5c3 | comment |
Sometimes subverted. Many of the rebels are rustlers, or racketeers. Some are political schemers and some poor folk armed with nothing but Torches and Pitchforks. And they often quarrel over precedance in a manner contrary to the interests of their cause. Even Fergus and Flora are to some degree Frenchified, making them less "pure" example's of savages. | |

Truce Zone | |
| Waverley / int_e5507f60 | comment |
Truce Zone: The hall of Rose's father is a place where Whigs and Jacobites are forbidden to argue. Rose's father toasts "the king" and leaves it to his guests to decide which king they are toasting. | |

War Is Hell | |
| Waverley / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: There are honorable men on both sides fighting each other and the whole country is shaken up. As Waverley is seeking Rose, he finds debris all round, and Rose's father's hall is wrecked. After his experience, Waverley admits to Talbot that he has had enough of being a gallant romantic warrior, and that his deepest desire is to be a nice, boring, husband and father in a nice, boring house. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Waverley / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
According to notes Charles(who was certainly not New Meat at the time of the revolt) couldn't bring himself to take pleasure in his victory at Preston, because he considered the dead English to be his Father's subjects. | |
