Om forfatteren

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, playwright and historian. Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor.

Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.

A prominent member of the Tory establishment in Edinburgh, Scott was an active member of the Highland Society, served a long term as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1820–32) and was a Vice President of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (1827–1829).

Scott's knowledge of history, and his facility with literary technique, made him a seminal figure in the establishment of the historical novel genre, as well as an exemplar of European literary Romanticism.

Ivanhoe

"Ivanhoe" fortæller historien om korstogsridderen Ivanhoe, der vender tilbage til England og kæmper for kong Richard Løvehjerte imod kongens forræderiske bror, John.
Denne udgave er forkortet og bearbejdet. Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) var en skotsk forfatter, der var uddannet jurist og siden blev dommer. Ved siden af dette var Scott med til at introducere Sturm und Drang til Storbritannien, blandt andet ved oversættelser, men også ved at udgive sine egne værker. Han er muligvis mest kendt for sit værk "Ivanhoe", men var også med til at give den historiske roman form og var en stor inspiration for senere forfattere.
