Abstract:
"The identity of Robin Hood has been questioned many times since the Outlaw of Sherwood first sprang to fame in the 12th century. No two authorities seem able to agree as to his origins, antecedents, or even whether or not he was a historical personage or a mythical figure. Historians, both amateur and professional, have for years been bringing out new books in which they claim to have found 'the real Robin Hood', but his identity remains clouded. More recent studies have sought to push the boundaries of the story further out into recorded time - seeking Robin Hood among the records of government and law-enforcement, in the ballads of the 12th to 14th centuries, and in the folk-memory of the people of Britain"--Publisher's website
