Hailed by Victor Hugo as 'the real epic of our age,' Ivanhoe was an immensely popular bestseller when first published in 1819. The book inspired literary imitations as well as paintings, dramatizations, and even operas. Now Sir Walter Scott's sweeping romance of medieval England has prompted a lavish new television production.
In the twelfth century, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe returns home to England from the Third Crusade to claim his inheritance and the love of the lady Rowena. The heroic adventures of this noble Saxon knight involve him in the struggle between Richard the Lion-Hearted and his malignant brother John: a conflict that brings Ivanhoe into alliance with the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood and his legendary fight for the forces of good.
'Scott's characters, like Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's, have the seed of life in them,' observed Virginia Woolf. 'The emotions in which Scott excels are not those of human beings pitted against other human beings, but of man pitted against Nature, of man in relation to fate. His romance is the romance of hunted men hiding in woods at night; of brigs standing out to sea; of waves breaking in the moonlight; of solitary sands and distant horsemen; of violence and suspense.' For Henry James, 'Scott was a born storyteller. . . . Since Shakespeare, no writer has created so immense a gallery of portraits.'

评分我们这个年纪的人刚刚开始学英语的时候，正好是Growing Pains在中国第一次播出的时候。我们的英语老师是个很有新思路的老太太，她也看Growing Pains，所以给我们每个人起英语名字的时候，Michael、Carol、Ben是少不了的。Michael——那时候老太太用的是Mike，这样拼比较简单—...
评分毕竟是早几十年的作品，故事情节比大仲马、显克维奇等人差不少。不过营造的中世纪氛围比较好，涉及面也比较广，提到农奴、绿林、宗教迷信什么的。 比项星耀译本好点的是诺曼人姓名之间的“德”翻出来了，这样很明显能看出其民族属性。（唯一的例外是德·布拉西翻译成了狄布来西...
