Pre loved paperback in very good condition, just minor creasing to cover from handling. Sir Walter Scott wrote many notable novels - This one going back to 1819. This was the first of Scott's novels to adopt purely English subject and also his first attempt to combine History and Romance, which later influenced Victorian medievalism. Set at the time of Norman Conquest "Ivanhoe" returns from the crusades to claim his inheritance and the love of Rowena and becomes involved in the struggle between Richard Coeur de Lion and his Norman brother John. The gripping narrative is structured by a series of conflicts: Saxon verses Norman, Christian verses Jew and man verses Woman, played out against Scott's unflinching moral realism.

No marks on pages - overall great condition.
