Robin Hood A Mythic Biography
The only figure in the Dictionary of National Biography who is said never
to have existed, Robin Hood has taken on an air of reality few historical
figures achieve. 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.
