[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Aegypan], In "The Antiquary" (1816), written by Sir Walter Scott, the character of the title, a collector of antiques, is not the hero, instead he provides the narration and commentaries on the story of a man known as Major Neville, who seeks knowledge of his birth and the love of Isabella Wardour. Like all of Scott's historical fiction, this novel is an accurate and fascinating portrayal of the time in which it was set. From the author's introduction: "The present work completes a series of fictitious narratives, intended to illustrate the manners of Scotland at three different periods. Waverley embraced the age of our fathers, Guy Mannering that of our own youth, and The Antiquary refers to the last ten years of the eighteenth century."

David Hewitt is Reader in English at the University of Aberdeen. The Antiquary is set in Scotland in the last years of the eighteenth century and centers around Jonathan Oldbuck, the Antiquary, the closest to a self-portrait of any Sir Walter Scott's characters. The passionate lover, a familiar character to readers of Scott, is here represented by Lovell, who relentlessly pursues the woman he hopes to marry. The Antiquary is a constant commentator on the characters and their actions, always at hand to provide his opinionated version of the story. While the reader may be swept up in the exciting plot, The Antiquary is a book that is not to be hurried; it has come to be appreciated for its rich description of a bygone age.
