Ivanhoe: A Romance () by Walter Scott is a [novel] published in three volumes, in 1819, as one of the Waverley novels.
Moreover, Ivanhoe much influenced popular perceptions of Richard the Lionheart, King John, and Robin Hood. ==Composition and sources== In June 1819, Walter Scott still suffered from the severe stomach pains that had forced him to dictate the last part of The Bride of Lammermoor, and also most of A Legend of the Wars of Montrose, which he finished at the end of May.
For the second half of the manuscript, Scott was able to take up the pen, and completed Ivanhoe: A Romance in early November 1819. For detailed information about the Middle Ages Scott drew on three works by the antiquarian Joseph Strutt: Horda Angel-cynnan or a Compleat View of the Manners, Customs, Arms, Habits etc.
