  Who was Robin Hood? Did he ever exist? Two eminent historians here piece together the evidence and illustrate, through a critical edition of the ballads, including fourteen of the earliest known, the development of the Robin Hood myth from his medieval portrayal as a common criminal through to his Victorian idealization as a rustic hero. A thorough and updated introduction ensures that this remains the most comprehensive guide to the subject available.
