Ivanhoe, a novel by
Sir W. Scott, published 1819. The first of Scott's novels to deal with an English rather than Scottish subject: the antagonism in England between Saxon and Norman during the reign of Richard I. The hero, Wilfred of Ivanhoe, has been disowned by his father, Cedric the Saxon, because of his love for Cedric's ward, the lady Rowena, and has joined King Richard on Crusade; Prince John, taking advantage of the king's absence, is endeavouring to seize the throne himself. The story hinges on two main episodes: the famous tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche where Ivanhoe, returned in disguise from the Crusade, and supported by an equally disguised Richard, defeats all challengers, including the Templar, Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and Sir Reginald Front-de-Bœuf; and the siege of Front-de-Bœuf's castle of Torquilstone, to which he and Bois-Guilbert have carried off Isaac the Jew and his daughter, Rebecca. The main plot thereafter concerns the passion of the Templar for Rebecca, and her resistance to his dishonourable advances. Bois-Guilbert dies in combat with Ivanhoe, who, reconciled to his father, marries Rowena; Rebecca, suppressing her love for Ivanhoe, leaves England with her father. Thackeray's
Rebecca and Rowena is an amusing sequel to, and critical reinterpretation of, Scott's tale.
