It begins with an exploration of the socio-political landscape of the time, offering insights into Edward Waverley's family background, particularly the tension between his loyalist uncle, Sir Everard, and his father, a disillusioned Whig. As Edward departs for military service, the reader is introduced to the complexities of his character shaped by familial expectations and the upcoming journeys that will define his identity.
