Description

Ivanhoe by Walter Scott is set in post-Norman Conquest England, where foreign warlords hold sway. The story follows Ivanhoe, a disinherited Saxon knight, as he returns to reclaim his rightful place and navigates the complexities of medieval politics. The novel explores themes of national identity, cultural heritage, and the clash of wills between different groups. It features a range of characters, including the Templar Bois-Guilbert and the Jewess Rebecca, who drive the plot forward with their conflicting agendas. This edition of Ivanhoe uses the 1830 Magnum Opus text, corrected against the Interleaved Set, and incorporates readings from Scott's manuscript. An introduction provides context for the novel's originality and cultural importance, making it a valuable addition to Oxford World's Classics.
