Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Antiquary — Complete" by Walter Scott is a novel published in 1816. Set in Scotland during the final decade of the 18th century, it follows an amateur historian and collector of dubious antiquities who befriends a mysterious young man named Lovel. When Lovel becomes entangled with the Wardour family—particularly the captivating Isabella—his uncertain origins threaten their connection. Combining Scottish manners, comic episodes, and melodrama, the story explores how the past shapes the present through treasure hunts, duels, and secrets waiting to be unearthed.
