His image in various guises has been put to use as a subject of ballads, nationalist rallying point, Disney cartoon fox, greenclad figure of farce, tabloid fodder, and template for petty criminals and progressive political candidates alike. In this engaging and deeply informed book Stephen Knight looks at the different manifestations of Robin Hood at different times and places in a mythic biography with a thematic structure. The best way to get at the essence of the Robin Hood myth, Knight believes, is in terms not of chronological and generic progression but of the purposes served by heroes. Each of the book's four central chapters identifies a particular model of the hero, mythic or biographic, which dominated in certain periods and in certain genres, and explores their interrelations, their implications, and their historical and sociopolitical contexts. 650 0 $a Robin Hood (Legendary character) 650 0 $a English literature $y Middle English, 1100-1500 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Outlaws $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Outlaws in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Outlaws in literature. 650 6 $a Robin Hood (Personnage leÌgendaire) 650 6 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $y 1100-1500 (Moyen anglais) $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Hors-la-loi $z Angleterre $x Histoire $y Jusqu'aÌ 1500. 650 6 $a Hors-la-loi au cineÌma. 650 6 $a Hors-la-loi dans la litteÌrature. 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0e2r9-aa 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy045/2002152751.html 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0e2z1-aa 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724060301.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926083008.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103050136.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820052116.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=922F32202B0411DEA75DDE07A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
