Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was born in Edinburgh. Educated for the law, he obtained the office of sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire in 1799 and in 1806 the office of clerk of session, a post whose duties he fulfilled for some twenty-five years. His lifelong interest in Scottish antiquity and the ballads which recorded Scottish history led him to try his hand at narrative poems of adventure and action.
The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805),
Marmion (1808), and
The Lady of the Lake (1810) made his reputation as one of the leading poets of his time. A novel,
Waverley, which he had begun in 1805, was published anonymously in 1814. Subsequent novels appeared with the note “by the author of Waverley”; hence his novels often are called collectively “the Waverley novels.” Some of the most famous of these are
Old Mortality (1816),
Rob Roy (1817),
Ivanhoe (1819),
Kenilworth (1821), and
Quentin Durward (1823). In recognition of his literary work Scott was made a baronet in 1819. During his last years he held various official positions and published biographies, editions of Swift and Dryden, tales, lyric poetry, and various studies of history and antiquity.
Samenvatting
Wilfred of Ivanhoe disinherited by his father, Cedric, because as a Saxon in the year 1194, it wasn't acceptable to support a Norman king like Richard I of England. In addition, Wilfred is in love with Lady Rowena, a woman Cedric hoped to marry to Lord Aethelstane. Ivanhoe accompanies King Richard on the Crusades along with various Knights Templar. Note, too, that Robin of Locksley (aka Robin Hood) is one of the characters in the story, and the standard feat of Robin Hood splitting a competitor's arrow originated in this novel. As with many of Sir Walter Scott's novels, Ivanhoe deals with the clash between heroic ideals and modern society.
