About The Book: "Ivanhoe," a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott penned in 1819, marks a shift in the author's focus from Scotland to 12th century England. Born in Scotland, Scott had predominantly set his novels in his native land. Set during the reign of Richard I, "Ivanhoe" explores the intricate conflict between Anglo-Saxon and Norman factions. The narrative centers around Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon disowned by his father Cedric for supporting Norman King Richard I, and his romance with Rowena, Cedric's ward. The novel seamlessly combines historical realism, romance, and chivalric culture, making it a captivating and influential work in 19th-century Europe and America's renewed interest in the Middle Ages.
