Description

**One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Read this timeless tale of medieval romance and adventure.

It is the dark days of King Richard the Lion Heart''s reign, when the beloved king is fighting in far-off lands, leaving his corrupt brother John in charge of his kingdom. Tensions between Saxon and Norman lords erupt in bouts of bloodshed or foul play; good men are banished, forced to turn outlaw and serve the true king in secrecy and disguise.

In this dangerous world, the brave Wilfred of Ivanhoe must grapple with the claims of family, crown, truth and justice if he is ever to win the hand of his true love, the beautiful Lady Rowena.

Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh on 15 August 1777. He was educated in
Edinburgh and called to the bar in 1792, succeeding his father as
Writer to the Signet, then Clerk of Session. He published anonymous
translations of German Romantic poetry from 1797, in which year he also
married. In 1805 he published his first major work, a romantic poem
called The Lay of the Last Minstrel, became a partner in a printing business, and several other long poems followed, including Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). These poems found acclaim and great popularity, but from 1814 and the publication of Waverley,
Scott turned almost exclusively to novel-writing, albeit anonymously. A
hugely prolific period of writing produced over twenty-five novels,
including Rob Roy (1817), The Heart of Midlothian (1818), The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), Kenilworth (1821) and Redgauntlet
(1824). Already sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire, Scott was created a
baronet in 1820. The printing business in which Scott was a partner ran
into financial difficulties in
1826, and Scott devoted his energies to
work in order to repay the firm's creditors, publishing many more
novels, dramatic works, histories and a life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Sir
Walter Scott died on 21 September 1832 at Abbotsford, the home he had
built on the Scottish Borders.
