More than a century after the Norman Conquest, England remains a colony of foreign warlords. The dissolute Prince John plots to seize his brother's crown, his barons terrorize the country, and the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood haunts the ancient greenwood. The secret return of King Richard and the disinherited Saxon knight, Ivanhoe, heralds the start of a splendid and tumultuous romance, featuring the tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche, the siege of Torquilstone, and the clash of wills between the wicked Templar Bois-Guilbert and the sublime Jewess Rebecca. In Ivanhoe Scott fashioned an imperial myth of national cultural identity that has shaped the popular imagination ever since its first appearance at the end of 1819. The most famous of Scottish novelists drew on the conventions of Gothic fiction, including its risky sexual and racial themes, to explore the violent origins and limits of English nationality. This edition uses the 1830 Magnum Opus text, corrected against the Interleaved Set, and incorporates readings from Scott's manuscript. The introduction examines the originality and cultural importance of Ivanhoe, and draws on current work by historians and cultural critics.

评分 评分司各特的书妙趣横生,文学价值与可读性均高,这一本更是好读得很 而最有趣的是序,充满特定时期的意识形态,由于马克思著作中批驳过狮心王理查,所以司各特在书中将理查塑造为正面形象这一点被作序者大加抨击,被冠以意识形态之类的大帽子,虽然司各特在书中清楚的写到理查是一...

评分读到三分之一总算觉得不吃力了。我还挺喜欢这种传统历史演绎小说的。文笔也好。就是太多倒装句省略句,英文不过关的话真的会看得很崩溃。
