Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gest of Robin Hood This study of the Gest of Robin Hood is one division of an unpublished dissertation on the Robin Hood Ballads, presented by the writer in April, 1907, to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University in fulfilment of one of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In order that this part of the dissertation might be read as an independent study, its original form has been slightly expanded and revised; substantially, however, this analysis of the Gest remains as first written. To Professor George Lyman Kittredge, whose lectures on the popular ballads inspired this study, and under whose direction it was completed, the writer is indebted not only for invaluable advice and criticism, but also for an appreciation of the nature of popular poetry and of the proper method of dealing with its problems. Professor W. A. Neilson has likewise read this study, and has made some very helpful suggestions. The author wishes also to express his gratitude to Mr. H. H. Langton, Librarian of the University of Toronto and general editor of the University of Toronto Studies, for his assistance in the preparation of this monograph for the press and his care in superintending its publication.

Download or read book The Gest of Robin Hood written by William Clawson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the INTRODUCTORY. Among those Robin Hood ballads which are derived from genuine popular tradition, the Gest of Robin Hood undoubtedly holds first place in interest and importance. It not only gives the fullest and most comprehensive account of the habits and character of that famous outlaw, but also relates a greater number of his adventures than any other ballad. It is one of the best examples in medieval literature of skillfully arranged and effectively phrased narrative. Finally, it is the only example in English, and perhaps in European literature, of a poem which, while employing the material, the metre, and to some extent the style of the single ballad, shows in its length (456 ballad stanzas), in its combination of originally separate ballads of the hero, and in its obvious aim to give a complete picture of that hero's character and career, a decided approach to the method and style of the epic. The Gest of Robin Hood is, therefore, of great significance, not only as a masterly narrative of a popular mediaeval hero, but also as a contribution to the problem of epic origins and of the relations between ballad and epic....
Download or read book Stories of Robin Hood written by J. Walker McSpadden and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Robin Hood: And His Merry Outlaws Songs and legends of Robin Hood and his merry outlaws have charmed readers young and old for more than five hundred years. They are among the earliest heirlooms of the Anglo-Saxon tongue, dating back to the time when Chaucer wrote his "Canterbury Tales," and the minstrel and scribe stood in the place of the more prim and precise modern printing block. The present stories, then, are but the retelling of old tales whose charm and interest, nevertheless, make them ever new. The old tales were in rhyme and ancient spelling; they were hid in out-of-the-way places; and they were more or less disconnected and obscure to our modern thinking. For this reason the adventures are now put into a continuous prose narrative, in the hope that they will make some readers acquainted with one of the most attractive heroes in all story-land. "Was Robin Hood a real person?" will doubtless be the first question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
