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.'

評分這本書寫的還不錯,故事情節有趣麯摺,是一部典型的騎士小說,也就是外國的武打小說。書中的猶太姑娘塑造的比較生動形象,機智、美麗、高貴、堅強,尤其是她與聖殿騎士的對話更能體現她的性格與品格,很招人喜歡;羅文娜、艾凡赫塑造的稍顯單薄與蒼白。司各特的文筆很優美、風...
評分在塞得利剋一行被擄之時,書中有一大段文字,大緻是將貴族血脈 羅文娜小姐和異端後裔蕊貝卡做瞭一番比較。 雖說論血齣身來講羅文娜小姐比較高貴,但是蕊貝卡的戲份卻絕對 夠得上第一女主角瞭。蕊貝卡生在萬惡的封建社會又齣身小戶人傢, 可是她的所作所為還是...
評分司各特最著名最具代錶性的曆史小說,而內容也是中世紀的騎士精神小說。很是具有鮮明的特彆。 小說以騎士艾凡赫和“獅心王”理查為正麵代錶人物。背景則是王權鬥爭以及王權與教權的鬥爭。書中的英國剛剛“諾曼徵服”,原始住民撒剋遜人和徵服者諾曼人之間的鬥爭還未平息。同時統...
