The Outlaw Legend explores the cultural tradition of outlaw heroes.
Remembered and recreated through song, stories and film, this
tradition has been remarkably resilient across time and place.
Graham Seal shows that these famous 'social bandits' share many
characteristics, particularly as helpers of the poor pitched
against authority, and are best understood within class, ethnic and
national struggles. Graham Seal celebrates the manifestations of
the tradition through ballads, songs and stories, many of which are
reproduced in the book. He also examines the tradition itself,
looking at the relationship between history and folklore and
discovering that the tradition is often articulated at moments of
social, economic and political stress. He addresses the interesting
question of how a cultural tradition develops and endures.
