Magna Carta door J. C. Holt
2/8/23
This is a serious scholarly book about Robin Hood , probably the most serious argument for a historical 13th century Robin Hood, with careful discussions of the early evidence such as it is, and the geography of the early Robin Hood poems, especially the Gest, which seems to be set in the Barnsdale region of southern Yorkshire, though mixed with (later?) references to the traditional Sherwood in Nottinghamshire. It also includes a well-known discussion of the audience of Robin Hood, subject on which there has been much debate.… (meer)
Someone has written a book about the legend of Robin Hood, possible sources and inspirstions, and some findings about social conditions that might have led to the creation of the Legend. Robin hood is not so dignified a story as Arthur, and it seems to be more recent. the corpus has certainly been not carefully cared for, and is prey to commercial interests. A good critical book on the legend.
