Waverley Novels

Waverley Novels are a series of historical fiction books written by Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century. They are set in different periods of Scottish history and blend fact with fiction, creating detailed and immersive stories. These novels often explore themes like heroism, tradition, and social change. The term "Waverley" comes from the first novel's published title, although Scott didn’t specify this as a series at first. Collectively, they are considered some of the earliest examples of historical fiction and played a significant role in popularizing the genre.
