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. With the secret return of King Richard and the disinherited Saxon knight Ivanhoe, Scott confronts his 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 Rebecca. Based on the 1830 text of Ivanhoe, this is the first edition to make corrections against Scott's working materials and incorporates readings from Scott's own manuscript.

剧情严格说过于戏剧化而且结尾有些不合理——Athelstane死而复生,圣殿骑士突然自己死了——有趣的其实是全书挖掘出一个特定历史时期的社会结构中的戏剧性冲突、并表达当代意识形态的能力。这类历史小说现在已经不罕见,在当年应该是全新的创举。金庸的小说从某种意义上看几乎可以看成是Scott的后继者,不仅在故事设定上,也在语言上是如此——Ivanhoe的英文古雅却好读,正如金庸的文字流畅但略显古朴。
