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 评分司各特的书妙趣横生，文学价值与可读性均高，这一本更是好读得很 而最有趣的是序，充满特定时期的意识形态，由于马克思著作中批驳过狮心王理查，所以司各特在书中将理查塑造为正面形象这一点被作序者大加抨击，被冠以意识形态之类的大帽子，虽然司各特在书中清楚的写到理查是一...
评分上班头几年在宿舍住，工会有个小图书馆，里面都是旧书，有次借了《红酋罗伯》，发现司各特写的小说很精彩，我是把它当外国武侠看的，之后又看了《艾凡赫》《皇家猎宫》《爱丁堡监狱》《医生的女儿》，《清教徒》忘了看没看过，凡是能找到的司各特小说我都看了，我觉得他的...
评分毕竟是早几十年的作品，故事情节比大仲马、显克维奇等人差不少。不过营造的中世纪氛围比较好，涉及面也比较广，提到农奴、绿林、宗教迷信什么的。 比项星耀译本好点的是诺曼人姓名之间的“德”翻出来了，这样很明显能看出其民族属性。（唯一的例外是德·布拉西翻译成了狄布来西...
