The first collection of major scholarly studies of aspects of the
Robin Hood tradition. The legends of Robin Hood are very familiar,
but scholarship and criticism dealing with the long and varied
tradition of the famous outlaw is as elusive as the identity of
Robin himself, and is scattered in a wide range of sources, many
difficult of access. This book is the first to bring together major
studies of aspects of the tradition. The thirty-one studies take a
variety of approaches, from archival exploration in quest of a real
Robin Hood, to a political angle seeking the social meaning of the
texts across time, to literary scholars concerned with origin,
structures and generic variation, or moral and social significance;
also included are considerations of theatre and filmstudies, and
folklore and children's literature. Overall, the collection
provides a valuable basis for further study. STEPHEN KNIGHT is
Professor of English Literature at the University of Wales,
Cardiff; he is well-known as an authority on the Robin Hood
tradition, and has edited the recently-discovered Robin Hood
Forresters Manuscript.
