| Summary | "Ivanhoe" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in medieval England during the reign of Richard I, the story revolves around the themes of chivalry, conflict between Saxons and Normans, and the quest for identity through the character of Ivanhoe, a noble knight who returns from the Crusades. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to a picturesque English valley, which was once covered by a vast forest significant to the history of England. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of the social and political tensions between the Saxon and Norman nobility, showcasing the struggles of lower classes like Gurth and Wamba, who are introduced as they tend to a herd of pigs. Their banter reveals both a sense of humor and the undercurrents of class oppression that characterize the era. The arrival of a nobleman and a reverend in search of hospitality sets the stage for the unfolding drama, hinting at deeper conflicts associated with Cedric the Saxon and the mystery surrounding the beautiful Rowena.
