Robin Hood / Henry Gilbert. - Ware : Wordsworth Editions, 1994. - 288 stron : ilustracje ; 20 cm.
(Wordsworth Classics)
Robin Hood is perhaps the greatest British folk hero and is celebrated in many books, films and other forms of entertainment. References to this colourful outlaw of Sherwood Forest go back into the mists of time. There is a mention of the 'rhymes of Robin Hood' in the poem Piers Plowman, thought to have been composed in the 1370s, but the earliest surviving copies of the narrative ballads that tell the outlaw’s story date to the second half of 15th century. So, by the time the twentieth century dawned, Robin was a well-known and well-documented character, but it was Henry Gilbert’s book Robin Hood, published in 1912, which assembled all the disparate elements of the legend into an elegiac and detailed version of Robin’s life and adventures. The book re-conceives all the familiar set-pieces of the story along the lines of a sweeping narrative arc that gives to the whole the grandeur of an epic.
