- Summary:
- "This first collection of major studies of aspects of the Robin Hood tradition brings together material published in a wide variety of journals, often difficult of access. It demonstrates the many different approaches which have been taken. Some historians explore records in quest of the real Robin Hood, others seek the political meaning of the texts across time; some literary scholars are concerned with origins, structures and generic variations, others look for moral and social significance." "The collection as a whole offers a valuable base for further scholarship and criticism of a hero and an archetype who for over five hundred years has challenged the imagination and defied definition."--Jacket.
