Listen "Ivanhoe"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIvanhoe, written by Sir Walter Scott and published in 1819, is a historical novel set in late 12th-century England during the reign of Richard I, a time marked by tension between the conquering Normans and the dispossessed Saxons. Often regarded as a cornerstone of the historical fiction genre, it weaves a romantic tale of chivalry, loyalty, and cultural conflict, following the young Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe as he navigates love, honor, and political intrigue. Scott, a Scottish author, drew on his fascination with medieval history and folklore, blending real historical figures like Richard the Lionheart with fictional characters and legendary ones like Robin Hood. The novel’s vivid portrayal of tournaments, castles, and clashing identities reflects the romanticized medievalism of the early 19th century, while its exploration of prejudice—against Saxons and Jews—adds depth to its adventure-driven narrative. #Ivanhoe #SirWalterScott #literature #classicliteratureHi everybody!
