Imagining Robin Hood: The Late Medieval Stories in Historical Context
Autor A. J. Pollarden Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2004
Imagining Robin Hood questions:
- what a ‘yeoman’ was, and what it meant to be a fifteenth-century Englishman
- Was Robin Hood hunted as an outlaw, or respected as an officially appointed forest ranger?
- Why do we ignore the fact that this celebrated hero led a life of crime?
- Did he actually steal from the rich and give to the poor?
An enthralling read for all historians and general readers of this fascinating subject.
