Set in twelfth-century England during the reign of Richard I, Ivanhoe is Sir Walter Scott's best-known novel. Its depictions of witch trials, violent tournaments, sieges, and ambushes make it a gripping read. The tense divisions between the Normans and the Saxons, the rich and the poor, the controversial figure of Robin Hood, and the dynamic between King Richard and his untrustworthy brother are all explored in this brilliant account of the medieval era.
