This handsome new edition of Sir Walter Scotts novels captures the original power and freshness of his best-loved novels. Author Biography Graham Tulloch is Professor of English and Dean of Humanities at Flinders University, Australia. Review Ivanhoe was the first of Scotts novels to be located wholly in England, and the first to take place in the middle ages. But it is far from being the fantastic, medievalist romance associated (in the critical imagination) with a visionary Britain that never was. This is a serious novel, the first in English to deal carefully with race. And at the same time, it is an incredibly exciting read for contemporary readers.
