This book explores and explains stories about the mythic outlaw,
who from the Middle Ages to the present day has stood up for the
values of natural law and true justice. Analysing the whole
sequence of Robin Hood adventures, it begins with the medieval
tradition, including early poems and the long-surviving sung
ballads, and goes on to look at two variant Robins: the Scottish
version, here named Rabbie Hood, and gentrified Robin, the exiled
Earl of Huntington, now partnered by Lady Marian. The nineteenth
century re-imagined Robin as a modern figure - a lover of nature,
Marian, England and the rights of the ordinary man. In novels and
films he has developed into an international figure of freedom,
while Marian's role has grown in a modern feminist context. Even to
this day, the Robin Hood myth continues to reproduce itself,
constantly discovering new forms and new meanings. -- .
