| Abstract: | The study presents the role of femininity in the historical/heroic Romantic novel through a significant example: Ivanhoe by Walter Scott. With the help of the two women conceived in the mirror, the Scottish writer accomplishes a critical takeover of the mediaeval canon, Rowena being the inheritance of the chivalrous heroic structures and Rebecca – a perfect Romantic century character, the way to finding a moral transcendence that has nothing in common with the institutions created by people. |
