Ivanhoe - Unabridged

By Sir Walter Scott & Kevin Theis
Ivanhoe - Unabridged by Sir Walter Scott & Kevin Theis digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"Ivanhoe" by Sir Walter Scott is a historical novel set in 12th-century England during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart.  

The story follows Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a disinherited Saxon knight who returns from the Crusades to reclaim his honor and love, Lady Rowena. Against a backdrop of tension between the Norman conquerors and the oppressed Saxons, Ivanhoe becomes entangled in chivalric tournaments, political intrigue, and acts of heroism. The novel features memorable characters such as the noble outlaw Robin Hood, the villainous Knight Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and the courageous Rebecca, a Jewish healer who faces persecution.  

Through vivid storytelling and rich historical detail, Scott explores themes of loyalty, justice, and reconciliation between divided peoples. Ivanhoe helped popularize the historical romance genre and remains a classic portrayal of medieval ideals and conflicts.

"Ivanhoe" is presented here in its original and unabridged format, complete with footnotes and a brief biography of the author.

About Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist, poet, historian, and lawyer, celebrated as one of the most influential figures in English literature. Born in Edinburgh, he studied law but soon turned to writing, gaining fame with his narrative poems such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel and Marmion. Scott pioneered the historical novel with works like Waverley, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe, and The Heart of Midlothian, blending romance, history, and adventure to capture the spirit of Scotland and its people. His vivid storytelling and deep sense of national identity helped shape modern perceptions of Scottish culture. Beyond literature, Scott was a passionate antiquarian and played a key role in preserving Scotland's heritage. Despite financial troubles later in life, he continued writing to repay his debts, leaving behind a legacy that profoundly influenced European and American literature.
