Περιγραφή για Storyworlds of Robin Hood: The Origins of a Medieval Outlaw Lesley Coote Reaktion Books

Robin Hood is one of the most enduring and well-known figures of English folklore. Yet who was he? In this intriguing book, Lesley Coote re-examines the early tales about Robin in light of the stories, both English and French, that surrounded them - stories with which they shared many elements of form and meaning. In the process, she returns to questions such as `Where did Robin come from?\' and `What did these stories mean?\' The Robin who reveals himself is as spiritual as he is he is secular and as much an `insider\' as he is an outlaw. And in the context of current debates about national identity and Britain\'s relationship with the wider world, Robin emerges to be as European as he is English - or perhaps, as the author suggests, that is precisely the quality which made him fundamentally English all along.
