The third novel in the Waverley series, and Scott's personal favorite, <i>The Antiquary</i> centers on a young man called Lovel who meets Jonathan Oldbuck, a loquacious old antiquary, on a trip to Scotland. There Lovel falls in love with the daughter of Sir Arthur Wardour, a local landowner. However, with no wealth or title to offer, Lovel's feelings go unrequited until an extraordinary act of courage. With its vivid drama and exuberant pace, <i>The Antiquary</i> confirms Scott's reputation as the great storyteller of modern Europe.
