First published in 1819 when Sir Walter Scott was at the height of his powers, Ivanhoe is a spellbinding tale of adventure, chivalry and romance set in a twelfth-century England where the Saxons are at loggerheads with the occupying Normans. Young Wilfred of Ivanhoe has been disinherited by his father because he has fallen in love with his father's ward Rowena, and wishes to marry her. Wounded during a tournament, he is nursed back to health by the beautiful Rebecca. It takes the help of Richard the Lionheart and of Robin Hood and his Sherwood Forest outlaws to ensure that the gallant Ivanhoe can save Rebecca from being burnt as a witch, establish justice and peace between Norman and Saxon, and gain the hand of the fair Rowena.
