About This Item
Used paperback book with no creasing along the spine and basically no rubbing on front and back covers. There are a couple bends on the front cover and one tiny one on the back cover as the pictures show. These are most likely from normal shelf ware. No writing, notes, or highlighting interferes with the text. Binding is great and the text is perfectly readable. Overall this books looks like new and I doubt it has ever been read.

Published in 1820 by author Sir Walter Scott, Ivanhoe is an influential historical romance novel set in medieval England. Ivanhoe represents a departure from Scott’s other novels, and remains his most well-known work. Scott explores many different themes in Ivanhoe, chief among them the rivalry and tension between the Saxons and Normans, feudal injustice as well as the oppression of England’s Jewish communities at the time. Critical reception was very positive at the time of publication, and Scott is credited with renewing interest in medieval England, leading to the publication of other novels set during the Dark Ages. The novel is also noteworthy for being historically accurate, correctly noting key figures and events of the time. In addition, Ivanhoe is also credited with expanding interest in the mythical Robin Hood, who Scott characterized as a cheerful and noble bandit.
