Ivanhoe: A Romance
Sinossi
Ivanhoe: A Romance is a historical novel by Walter Scott, published in December 1819. Set in England in 1194, it centers on Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight who has been disinherited due to his loyalty to Norman King Richard the Lionheart. His position is further complicated by his forbidden love for Lady Rowena. Against the backdrop of a divided medieval society, the story brings together tournaments, outlaws, and continuing tensions between Saxons and Normans, as well as between Jews and Christians. Through its depiction of chivalry and conflict, the novel helped shape popular fascination with medieval England and enduring images of figures such as Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood.
