Reviews
Coote's scholarly study of the storyworlds of the early Robin Hood tradition broadens our understanding of the interconnectivity of medieval outlaw tales, romance, the fabliau tradition, miracle of the Virgin stories, trickster tales, and pastourelles., This is an important book that takes the Robin Hood legend out of the familiar forest of 'Merry England' and relocates it within the more culturally extensive greenwood of late medieval Europe. Coote's comparative approach situates the Robin Hood myth within a complex matrix of multilingual cultural contexts--French pastourelle traditions, English and German trickster stories, fabliaux and other comic tales, and Miracles of the Virgin tales among others. Thoughtful, learned, and sometimes provocative, Storyworlds of Robin Hood is a significant contribution to our understanding of the outlaw myth., In her engrossing book on Robin Hood, Coote also considers a geography beyond Sherwood Forest for the legend. . . . The book's fascinating focus is on the European-wide literary setting of Robin Hood-type tales in the late medieval, pre-Reformation era. . . . Coote takes us deep into the pious, ribald, scatological, and sometimes pornographic tales of the period. . . . The book is not a search for the historical origins of Robin Hood but for his literary and cultural foundations. The result is a fascinating and engaging new look at an old legend.

Synopsis
Robin Hood is one of the most enduring and well-known figures of English folklore. Yet who was he really? In this intriguing book, Lesley Coote reexamines the early tales about Robin in light of the stories, both English and French, that have grown up around them--stories with which they shared many elements of form and meaning. In the process, she returns to questions such as where did Robin come from, and what did these stories mean? The Robin who reveals himself is as spiritual as he is secular, and as much an insider as he is an outlaw. And in the context of current debates about national identity and Britain's relationship with the wider world, Robin emerges to be as European as he is English--or perhaps, as Coote suggests, that is precisely the quality which made him fundamentally English all along., A fresh and exciting reappraisal of folklore outlaw Robin Hood. Robin Hood is one of the most enduring and well-known figures of English folklore. Yet who was he? In this intriguing book, Lesley Coote re-examines the early tales about Robin in light of the stories, both English and French, that surrounded them - stories with which they shared many elements of form and meaning. In the process, she returns to questions such as 'Where did Robin come from?' and 'What did these stories mean?' The Robin who reveals himself is as spiritual as he is he is secular and as much an 'insider' as he is an outlaw. And in the context of current debates about national identity and Britain's relationship with the wider world, Robin emerges to be as European as he is English - or perhaps, as the author suggests, that is precisely the quality which made him fundamentally English all along.

- _***d (6)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- b***3 (500)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoAs the title mentions awesomebooksusa, most books have been rarely awesome but the book prices have been almost generous, granted. Unbelievable services : 3 day international shipping, prompt dispatch, newly book condition, provided tracking, secure package, exactly received book, and safe deliveries. My gratitude to the seller’s thoughts of the needy buyers sending the wanted books to the new residence. Many thanks! Arabella
