at Eton and Cambridge, was the author of several Oriental tales, '' Ilderim, A Syrian Tale '' (1816), '' Phrosyne, A Grecian Tale '', and '' Alashtar, An Arabian Tale '' (1817). He was also an authority on architecture, and wrote various works on the subject, including '' The Ecclesiastical Architecture Of Italy '', and '' The Normans In Sicily '', which brought him more reputation than his novels. He owned Firbeck Hall in Rotherham. Sir Walter Scott 's novel '' Ivanhoe '' is set nearby, and Knight may have been Scott's source of local information when he was writing the book. EXTERNAL LINKS |
