>The character of the fair Jewess found so much favor in the eyes of some fair readers, that the writer was censured, because, when arranging the fates of the characters of the drama, he had not assigned the hand of Wilfred to Rebecca, rather than the less interesting Rowena.
They had pro-diversity SJWs in 1830s Britain?

have you read it? Rebecca is easily the best character.

I think his favorable depiction of Rebecca has more to do with his Freemasonry. It's a highly implausible situation for the historical circumstances. The scenario is just as realistic as the Scarlet Letter. Still, Ivanhoe is a comfy read.
