Robin Hood FAQ: All That's Left to Know About England's Greatest Outlaw and His Band of Merry Men - Softcover
Synopsis
Income inequality. Wealth disparity. Roving bands of rogue knights. (OK, maybe not that last one.) Now more than ever, we need an egalitarian outlaw who isn't afraid to stand firm against the hypocrisies and excesses of presumptuous economic elites. Perhaps looking back is our best way forward. For centuries, Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men have inspired the oppressed, uplifted the downtrodden – and, of course, forged a trail of their own across Western art and culture. From medieval myth to modern blockbuster, Dave Thompson's Robin Hood FAQ offers the complete story of Robin Hood, tracing the tale across each of the many media in which it has been told, from legends, ballads, books, comics, and magazines to songs, movies, TV series, and so on. Thompson digs deep into both fact and fiction to separate the modern myth from its earliest counterpart and trace the patterns that the confluence followed. And who better to make sense of the vast and varied life of Nottingham's favorite son than Dave Thompson, an English ex-pat with a bibliography a mile long, a wit so droll it defies critical apprehension, and a marked predilection for Lincoln green?
Plenty of ink has already been spilled on the Prince of Thieves, but extant volumes tend to be literary, out of print, or, in scholastic instances, prohibitively expensive (aye, the irony). Written in Applause Theatre and Cinema Books' acclaimed FAQ format, Robin Hood FAQ bursts at the seams with 400 pages of facts, fiction, history, and trivia. Photo-filled and reader-friendly, Thompson's latest tome is at once fun, informative, and, at just $19.99, priced for the 99%.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Robin Hood FAQ is a thorough survey of one of the world s most enduring and popular myths, tracing the story of the legendary outlaw from the earliest ballads and chronicles to the present day. An in-depth discussion of the legend s origin pinpoints the many historical characters who might possibly have provided the inspiration not only for Robin but also for certain of his merry men (and women). The political and religious landscape of his age are examined, not only in an historical context but also geographical, as the book describes Robin s impact on the place names and landmarks of his English homeland. Other chapters look at some of the fighting men who followed in his footsteps, including such renowned revolutionaries as Ned Ludd and Sir William Courtenay. From broadsides to penny dreadfuls, comic books to novels, the book traces the evolution of Robin Hood s legend from the earliest times, while surveying the vast corpus of plays, operas, musicals, television, and movie adaptations of the tale, including works by a wide range of artists from Ben Jonson to Kevin Costner, Alfred Lord Tennyson to Jonas Armstrong. Detailed appendices list both the cast and the scores of many of these productions.
