Ivanhoe (Classic Reprint)

Ivanhoe (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Ivanhoe

The actual sources from which Scott drew the material of Ivanhoe, however, were in his own intimate acquaint ance, not only with the facts of early English history, but as well with the spirit of her people in all ages of the past. With this substantial knowledge at his command, his mus terly imagination seemed to have no difficulty in recalling the historical personages of Whom he wrote and in reviving the spirit and manners of the age in which they lived, or in adding characters of his own invention to supplement and round out the little world of his romance.
