Summary: "Ivanhoe: A Romance" by Sir Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set during the reign of King Richard I, the story delves into the complexities of Anglo-Saxon and Norman relations in post-conquest England. The narrative follows Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a noble knight, as he contends with class struggles, honor, and love, alongside characters such as Cedric the Saxon and the lovely Rowena. The beginning of "Ivanhoe" introduces the reader to the historical backdrop of England, highlighting the conflict between the Saxons and Normans following the Conquest. It sets the stage in a forest near Doncaster, where swineherd Gurth and the jester Wamba converse about their harsh lives as serfs under the oppressive Norman nobility. Their banter provides insights into the social hierarchy and the Saxons' resentment toward their conquerors. Both characters soon encounter a group of horsemen, including a monk and a Templar, who are seeking shelter at Cedric's estate, Rotherwood. This elegant build-up establishes the themes of class struggle and chivalric ideals that will weave throughout the tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
