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...
评分在塞得利克一行被掳之时，书中有一大段文字，大致是将贵族血脉 罗文娜小姐和异端后裔蕊贝卡做了一番比较。 虽说论血出身来讲罗文娜小姐比较高贵，但是蕊贝卡的戏份却绝对 够得上第一女主角了。蕊贝卡生在万恶的封建社会又出身小户人家， 可是她的所作所为还是...
评分看原文才能令你知道Ivanhoe的真正魅力…… 从这本书中可以知道，当时的世俗文学是被骑士文学所统治的。骑士们当然不会关心什么第一原因和最终目的。他们一直保持一种蛮勇、侠义、忠诚、向妇女献殷勤的精神，却也非常有意思……
