- In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham.
- last line
- With the life of a generous, but rash and romantic monarch, perished all the projects which his ambition and his generosity had formed; to whom may be applied, with a slight alteration, the lines composed by Johnson for Charles of Sweden—His fate was destined to a foreign strand,/A petty fortress and an ‘humble’ hand;/He left the name at which the world grew pale,/To point a moral, or adorn a TALE.

- Away! our journey lies through dell and dingle, Where the blithe fawn trips by its timid mother, Where the broad oak, with intercepting boughs, Chequers the sunbeam in the green-sward alley —Up and away! —for lovely paths are these To tread, when the glad Sun is on his throne Less pleasant, and less safe, when Cynthia’s lamp With doubtful glimmer lights the dreary forest.

Ivanhoe ist ein 1820 veröffentlichter Roman von Sir Walter Scott und zugleich der Name der Hauptperson des Romans, des Kreuzritters Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe. Hauptthema ist die Rivalität zwischen den beiden großen hochmittelalterlichen "Nationen" Englands, den Angel-Sachsen und Normannen, die sich während der Abwesenheit des rechtmäßigen Königs Richard Löwenherz durch die Intrigen seines Bruders und Statthalters verschärft. Im fiktiven Zusammenspiel der Romanfiguren mit historischen Persönlichkeiten entsteht in Ivanhoe ein anschauliches Bild Englands am Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts und ein nationaler Mythos. Dieser „historische Roman gilt als einer der ersten seiner Art, als Vorbild für ein Genre, das bald in ganz Europa Nachahmung fand. Wer das Buch heute liest, mag über manches Klischee und die mitunter haarsträubende Handlung schmunzeln – gute Unterhaltung findet er allemal.“
