Rassendyll masquerades as the king in order to save the country from a treacherous plot and secures the release of a wronged prisoner. In the process he wins the heart of the beautiful Princess Flavia, but ultimately surrenders the crown and the hand of his beloved princess to the rightful ruler. Rupert of Hentzau (1898), which ends in tragedy, not triumph, is the darker sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda. Full of humor and swashbuckling feats of heroism, the tales also contain, within their narrative structures and characterizations, a satire on late-nineteenth-century European politics.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1279942 Crowded with incident and full of memorable characters, among them wicked Prince John, the outlaw Robin Hood and the beautiful Jewess Rebecca, Ivanhoe is Scotts most high-spirited novel. Ivanhoe, banished by his father, Cedric, for falling in love with Cedrics ward Rowena, wins the trust of Richard Coeur-de-Lion at the Crusades. Returning to England to claim his inheritance, Ivanhoe is drawn into the struggle between Richard and his brother John. In the three central scenes of the book - the great tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche, the siege of Front de Boeufs castle and Rebeccas trial for witchcraft - Scott draws together the apparently opposing themes of historical reality and chivalric romance, social realism and high adventure, past and present.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704332 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704355 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=295778 Like Mary Stuart herself and the legends which pursued her to her death, Schillers drama continues to captivate the modern imagination nearly two centuries later.
