Description
The legend of Robin Hood has captivated the imagination for centuries. But what is the truth behind the myths? Historian Sean McGlynn offers a radically fresh approach to understanding the origins of the Robin Hood story, drawing on original research that has received global media attention. McGlynn examines the first stories of Robin Hood as they appeared in the late Middle Ages and explains their enduring appeal. He delves into the medieval period to consider the problems of name, time, and place, and assesses real-life figures who have been suggested as the inspiration behind the legend. The result is a compelling narrative that sheds new light on this iconic figure. A previously overlooked contender emerges as the most likely inspiration for the emergence of the Robin Hood legend in thirteenth-century England.
