Romancing the Ballad : door Robert B. Waltz
It is usually asserted that ballads are transmitted by oral tradition, while romances are transmitted by written tradition. Both these statements are dubious. (p. 36) - RW
"The Gest of Robyn Hode is a study of the longest early source of material about Robin Hood -- a romance of almost 2000 lines. This volume includes a newly-edited Middle English text, a parallel in Modern English, textual notes, and an introduction describing the history and some of the content of the poem." - RW
