Lover of Rowena (Scott) (7)

I believe the answer is:

ivanhoe

(Other definitions for ivanhoe that I've seen before include "Eponymous hero of famous novel by Walter Scott" , "Sir Walter Scott hero" , "I have no collection for Walter Scott's famous novel" , "Book by Sir Walter Scott" , "one Rowena loved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
