For sale is the Heritage Press Hardcover edition in slipcase of Ivanhoe by Walter Scott.
Set in England in the Middle Ages, with colorful descriptions of a tournament, outlaws, a witch trial, and divisions between Jews and Christians, Normans and Saxons, the novel was credited by many with inspiring increased interest in chivalric romance and medievalism. It marked a shift away from Scott's prior practice of setting stories in Scotland and in the more recent past.
It became one of Scott's best-known and most influential novels.
