1.2 Author
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), Scott was born on August 15, 1771,
in Edinburgh as the son of a solicitor Walter Scott and Anne, a daughter of
professor of medicine. An early illness left him lame in the right leg, but he
grew up to be a man over six feet and great physical endurance. Scott's
interest in the old Border tales and ballads had early been awakened, and he
devoted much of his leisure to the exploration of the Border country. He
attended Edinburgh High School and studied at Edinburgh University arts and
law. Scott was apprenticed to his father in 1786 and in 1792 he was called to
the bar. In 1799 he was appointed sheriff depute of the county of Selkirk. In
1797 Scott married Margaret Charlotte Charpenter. They had five children.
In 1806 Scott became clerk to the Court of Session in Edinburgh. To increase his income he started a printing and publishing business with his friend James Ballantyne. The enterprise crashed and Scott accepted all debts and tried to pay them off with his writings.
In the 1810s Scott published several novels. From this period date such works as Waverley (1814), dealing with the rebellion of 1745, which attempted to restore a Scottish family to the British throne.
Scott continued with Guy Mannering (1815) and Tales Of My Landlord (1816). Rob Roy (1817) a portrait of one of Scotland's greatest heroes, sold out its edition of 10 000 copies in two weeks. The Heart of Midlothianappeared in 1818 followed by The Bride Of Lammermoor (1819) and A Legend Of Montrose (1819). Ivanhoe (1819) set in the reign of Richard I is perhaps the best known of Scott's novels today. In the 1820s appeared Kenilworth (1821), The Fortunes Of Nigel (1822), Peveril Of The Peak (1823), Quentin Durward (1823), The Talisman (1825), Woodstock (1826), The Surgeon's Daughter (1827), and Anne Of Geierstein (1829).
In 1820 Scott was created a baronet. A few years later he founded the Bannatyne Club, which published old Scottish documents. Scott visited France in 1826 to collect material for his Life Of Napoleon, which was published in 9 volumes in 1827. His wife, Lady Scott, died in 1826, and the author himself had a stroke in 1830. Next year Scott sailed to Italy. After his return to England in 1832, he died on September 21. Scott was buried beside his ancestors in Dryburgh Abbey.
1.3 Summary
When wild Highlanders visit the Baron's castle, Edward is intrigued and goes to the mountain lair of Clan Mac-Ivor, meeting the Chieftain Fergus and his sister Flora, who turn out to be active Jacobites preparing for the insurrection. But Edward has overstayed his leave and is accused of desertion and treason, and then arrested. The highlanders rescue him from his escort and take him to the Jacobite stronghold at Doune castle then on to Holyrood Palace where he meets Bonnie Prince Charlie himself. Encouraged by the beautiful Flora Mac-Ivor, Edward goes over to the Jacobite cause and takes part in the Battle of Prestonpans (September 1745). The battle is recounted in some detail.
Undaunted by the light, inaccurate guns, the Highlander army continued its charge; however, the centre became bogged down in marshy terrain, and as they continued forward their different speeds of advance caused them to form into a "V". One of the soldiers who tumbles in the marsh is the Hanoverian Colonel Talbot, who Waverley picks up on his horse, saving his life. This man turns out to be a close friend of his uncle.
When the Jacobite cause fails in 1746, Colonel Talbot intervenes to get Edward a pardon. After attending the trial in Carlisle at which Fergus is condemned, Edward is rejected by the passionate Flora, a representative of the romantic past, and marries the Baron's daughter, the calmer Rose Bradwardine who symbolises a modern rational Scotland in the post-Union settlement.
Waverley is set during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, which sought to restore the Stuart dynasty in the person of Charles Edward Stuart (or 'Bonnie Prince Charlie'). The hero is a young Englishman, Edward Waverley. Neglected by his pro-Hanoverian father, Edward is brought up by his elderly uncle, the Jacobite-leaning Sir Everard Waverley. Like Scott himself, Edward reads widely in poetry and romance as a child, creating an imaginary world that he much prefers to a lacklustre present. Having obtained a commission in the army, he is sent to Scotland in 1745. During a spell of leave, he visits his uncle's friend and fellow Jacobite, the Baron of Bradwardine at Tully-Veolan, forming an attachment to his daughter Rose. A spirit of adventure now leads him to visit the lair of Donald Bean Lean, a Highland freebooter, and the great hall at Glennaquoich, home to Fergus MacIvor, a young Highland chieftain and ardent Jacobite. Here Edward witnesses a patriarchal society where chieftain and follower feast together united by ties of kinship.
Edward's romantic sensibilities are deeply affected by their fanatical enthusiasm for the Jacobite cause, particularly when embodied in Fergus's beautiful sister Flora. The frequentation of known Jacobites compromises Edward with his regiment, leading ultimately to his dismissal and arrest. Rescued by Rose, Edward joins the Jacobite forces even though reason tells him that Charles Edward Stuart's attempt to capture the British throne is doomed to failure.
He is captivated by the personal charm of the Prince, impressed by Flora's devotion, and coerced by the powerful personality of Fergus MacIvor. However, when the Jacobite cause fails, Waverley is forced into hiding and is only freed when General Talbot, whose life he has saved at the Battle of Prestonpans, grants him a pardon. After attending the trial and condemnation of Fergus, Edward is decisively rejected by Flora. He then marries the placid Rose Bradwardine, who represents the rational, realistic present of post-Union Scotland as opposed to the colourful, passionate past personified by Flora.

Benefits Research
Objectives to be achieved by the
author in the manufacture of this
paper are:1. Want to know the political institutions that occurred in this era.
2. Want to know about how the monarchy and dynasty in this era.
1.5 Reason
I chose the political institutions in this chapter. The reason I chose political institutions in the era of 1745
with a very prominent
issue, a lost cause from Jacobitism, romance
'45 Rebellion, and
the depiction of society (both Highland and
Lowland) in the context of major changes. Scott helped
to create a new
national identity for Scotland through poetry
and novels, one
of which relates to novel Waverley uprising at
the time. Which is tied to
the war in the
era of 1745.
1.6 Set of Problem
Waverley
is set during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, which sought to restore the
Stuart dynasty in the person of Charles Edward Stuart (or ‘Bonnie Prince
Charlie’). It relates the story of a young dreamer and English soldier, Edward
Waverley, who was sent to Scotland in 1745. He journeys North from his
aristocratic family home, Waverley-Honour, in the south of England first to the
Scottish Lowlands and the home of family friend Baron Bradwardine, then into
the Highlands and the heart of the 1745 Jacobite uprising and aftermath.
1.7 Assumption
After reading the theory and institutions in
this era and
observe Waverley, I can assume that
in this era
of 1745-1746 the
problem of young
British leader and
his army of Edward
Waverley, which seeks
to restore the Stuart
dynasty in the person of Charles Edward Stuart
(or 'Bonnie Prince
Charlie '). Related
to the war medieval
England.

COMPOSISION
Scott's own account of the composition
of Waverley is well-known but has been increasingly questioned in
recent scholarship. According to the General Preface (1829) to the 'Magnum
Opus' edition of the Waverley Novels, he began work on the novel 'about the
year 1805'. Inspired by tales that he had heard from veterans of the '45 and by
his own youthful travels in the Highlands, he saw the fictional potential of a
clash of cultures, he felt sure that 'the ancient traditions and high spirit of
a people who, living in a civilized age and country, retained so strong a
tincture of manners belonging to an early period of society must afford a
subject favorable for romance'. Having written some seven chapters, he asked
his friend William Erskine for his opinion. This being unfavourable, Scott was
reluctant to risk his reputation as poet by proceeding any further, and set the
manuscript aside. In September 1810 he turned to James Ballantyne for a second opinion
on the fragment. Although broadly appreciative, Ballantyne's approval was too
moderate to persuade Scott to resume his narrative. Waverley then lay
forgotten in a drawer until autumn 1813 when Scott happened upon the manuscript
while rummaging for fishing tackle. Rereading it, his faith in the story was
rekindled, and he resolved to complete it.

Summary
Edward
has been brought up in the family home by his uncle, Sir Everard Waverley, who
maintains the family Tory and Jacobite sympathies, while Edward's Whig
father works for the Hanoverian government in nearby London. Edward is given a commission in
the Hanoverian army and posted to Dundee, then promptly takes leave to
visit Baron Bradwardine, a Jacobite friend of his uncle, and meets the Baron's
lovely daughter Rose.
Tolerance
Scott's work shows the influence of the 18th-century Enlightenment. He believed every human was basically decent regardless of class, religion, politics, or ancestry. Tolerance is a major theme in his historical works. The Waverley Novels express his belief in the need for social progress that does not reject the traditions of the past. He was the first novelist to portray peasant characters sympathetically and realistically, and was equally just to merchants, soldiers, and even kings.Civil war
The division in the family Waverley has been caused by the English Civil War the mid-seventeenth century. civil war is always present in Waverley not only as the subject or the realities of history, but the fear deep in Scott as Shakespeare as manifested by various allusions throughout the novel and with direct reference to Henry V and Henry VI in chapter 71.

DISCUSSION
2.1 Theory Intrinsict
2.1.1
Theory of Theme
The theme of
any literary work is the base that acts as a foundation for the entire literary
piece. The theme links all aspects of the literary work with one another and is
basically the main subject. The theme can be an enduring pattern or motif
throughout the literary work, occurring in a complex, long winding manner or it
can be short and succinct and provide a certain insight into the story.
And the theme in a
story is its underlying message, or 'big idea.' In other words, what critical
belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel,
play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers.
It is usually universal in nature. When a theme is universal, it touches on the
human experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means.
Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme.
Themes are key issues expressed by the
author in a literary work such as short stories or novels. Usually theme processed
by something specific motif consisting of the object, event occurrences and so
on.

2.3 Theory Institutional in Political
Science
At the turn of the millennium there
has been a major growth of interest in institutional theory and institutional
analysis in political science. This book identifies these approaches to
institutions, and provides a frame of reference for the different theories.
In the past decade there has been a
major growth of interest in institutional theory and institutional analysis in
political science.
There are, however, a variety of
different approaches to the new institutionalism' and these approaches rarely
address the same issues. This book identifies the various approaches to
institutions, and then provides a common frame of reference for the different
theories.
Peters argues that there are at least
seven versions of institutionalism, beginning with the March and Olsen
'normative institutionalism', and including rational choice, historical and
empirical approaches to institutions and their impact on public policy.
For each of the versions of
institutionalism them is a set of identical questions, including the definition
of institutions, the way in which they are formed, how they change, how
individuals and institutions interact, and the nature of a 'good institution'.
Peters discusses whether them are
really so many different approaches to institutionalism, or if there is
sufficient agreement among them to argue that there is really one institutional
theory.

scarce remind you, that we have shared in terest
in a valuable property
which has a dynasty

things that workers accumulate a lot of, you, gentlemen, know that each person in

himself against charges of treason, and prove his own. he was a warrior or a
soldier who was very severe, tough and responsible.
" ... he acquired a more complete
mastery of a spirit tamed by adversity than his former experience had given
him; and that he felt himself entitled to say firmly, though perhaps with a
sigh, that the
romance of his
life was ended,
and that its
real history had
now commenced."
III.
CONCLUSION
Waverley Novels

novel created by Scott, and popular in the 19th
