«Ivanhoe» is the historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (622 pages, in English).
Set in England in 1166, it tells of the return of the Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe from the Crusades to a troubled kingdom, where King Richard the Lionheart is absent and the Normans dominate the scene. Disinherited and dishonoured, Ivanhoe must recover his name and protect his own in a tale of tournaments, sieges and clashing loyalties, with characters such as the Templar Bois-Guilbert and the young Rebecca.
Oxford World's Classics edition annotated by Ian Duncan; it takes the 1830 text collated with the working materials and Scott's manuscript. The work was originally published in 1819.
Ideal for students of English and for those who enjoy classic historical fiction.
Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, was a Scottish novelist, poet and historian. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature. He is known for his Waverley novels (1814–1831), which were, for nearly a century, among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. He is also known for his narrative poems Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). He greatly influenced European and American literature.
