Ivanhoe

Sir Walter Scott’s great romance of twelfth-century England, in which the disinherited knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades to a land divided between Saxon and Norman, with Rebecca of York, the Lady Rowena, Robin of Locksley and King Richard himself. It was first published in 1819 (dated 1820). This edition follows a public-domain English text of that book, with Scott’s 1830 introduction, the Dedicatory Epistle and his notes.
