Hailed by Victor Hugo as 'the real epic of our age,' Ivanhoe was an immensely popular bestseller when first published in 1819. The book inspired literary imitations as well as paintings, dramatizations, and even operas. Now Sir Walter Scott's sweeping romance of medieval England has prompted a lavish new television production.
In the twelfth century, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe returns home to England from the Third Crusade to claim his inheritance and the love of the lady Rowena. The heroic adventures of this noble Saxon knight involve him in the struggle between Richard the Lion-Hearted and his malignant brother John: a conflict that brings Ivanhoe into alliance with the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood and his legendary fight for the forces of good.
'Scott's characters, like Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's, have the seed of life in them,' observed Virginia Woolf. 'The emotions in which Scott excels are not those of human beings pitted against other human beings, but of man pitted against Nature, of man in relation to fate. His romance is the romance of hunted men hiding in woods at night; of brigs standing out to sea; of waves breaking in the moonlight; of solitary sands and distant horsemen; of violence and suspense.' For Henry James, 'Scott was a born storyteller. . . . Since Shakespeare, no writer has created so immense a gallery of portraits.'

评分司各特的书充满了浪漫主义气息，尤其对人物场景的描述有令人惊叹的功力。虽然站在通篇全文的历史角度，每个人都有其局限性，不过对于我等非文学工作者的普通百姓来说，看书就图个心灵愉悦，关于这点要求，司各特的《英雄艾文荷》完全做到了，与之相比，不得不说《紫艾草骑士》...

评分十二世纪末，诺曼贵族统治英吉利已经多年，与本土的撒克逊贵族（其实他们也是外来的，只是更早而已，）矛盾重重，但都拼命压榨沦为农奴的农民，更有教会僧侣，用种种罪恶手段压榨底层百姓。灾难深重的底层百姓有的就挺而走险，有像罗宾汉那样的草莽英雄。国王诺曼人狮心王理查...
