(Julius) Krohn, Gyula Suonio Ivanhoe Produced by Mika Tammitie and Tapio Riikonen "Ivanhoe" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. This engaging tale is set in medieval England during the reign of Richard I and revolves around the themes of chivalry, conflict, and social strife during a tumultuous period marked by the tension between the Saxons and Normans. The narrative primarily follows the character of Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a disinherited Saxon knight, as he navigates a society riddled with challenges and unrest. The opening of "Ivanhoe" introduces the historical context of England in the late 12th century, outlining the sociopolitical atmosphere following the Norman Conquest. It vividly describes a vast forest landscape between Sheffield and Doncaster, where the remnants of ancient conflicts linger, particularly highlighting the struggles faced by Saxons under the Norman lords. In this setting, we meet two central characters: Gurth, a Saxon swineherd and servile tenant of Cedric the Saxon, and Wamba, Cedric's witty jester. Their conversation captures the harsh realities and bitter satire of their condition, setting the stage for the conflicts and character dynamics that will unfold throughout the story.
