{"product_id":"robin-hood-volume-1-9781108078160","title":"Robin Hood - Volume 1","description":"A controversial literary critic and commentator, Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) made his reputation identifying and exposing literary forgeries. His enduring legacy, however, stems from his interest in the legend of Robin Hood. The combination of his passion for collecting literary antiquities, particularly medieval ballad poetry, and his political convictions in support of republican government, drew him to the tale of the English outlaw. This two-volume work, first published in 1795, is an important collection of texts relating to the legend. Ritson's aim was to present all the known poems and songs, and his research was so thorough that very little further material has been found since. This work helped transform the perception of the Robin Hood tradition, encouraging its serious study. As well as a selection of texts, Volume 1 contains a lengthy scholarly discussion of the tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Ritson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Library Collection - Literary Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108078160","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256042651785,"sku":"9781108078160","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bea531de-9b5f-4a5d-b2f0-8bf71787a46d.jpg?v=1736236211","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/robin-hood-volume-1-9781108078160","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
