Robin Hood in Outlaw/ed Spaces

Following in the tradition of recent work by cultural geographers and historians of maps, this collection examines the apparently familiar figure of Robin Hood as he can be located within spaces that are geographical, cultural, and temporal. The volume is divided into two sections: the first features an interrogation of the literary and other textually transmitted spaces to uncover the critical grounds in which the Robin Hood legend has traditionally operated. The essays in take up issues related to performative and experiential space, demonstrating the reciprocal relationship among page, stage, and lived experience. Throughout the volume, the contributors contend with, among other things, modern theories of gender, literary detective work, and the ways in which the settings that once advanced court performances now include digital gaming and the enactment of real lives.

Lesley Coote is a Lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Hull, where she teaches Chaucer, medieval romance literature and culture, historical film, Arthuriana, and Robin Hood studies. Her research specializations are the popular culture of medieval Britain, in particular prophetic, apocalyptic, and romance texts, in addition to the medievalism of film and new media. She has written a wide variety of articles and essays on these topics, and a book, Prophecy and Public Affairs in Later Medieval England (2000). She is currently preparing an article on medievalism and film in the twenty-first century, and a book, Robin Hood, for Reaktion Press.

Valerie B. Johnson is a Lecturer at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a former Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She received her doctorate from the University of Rochester.

Her publications include articles in Studies in Medievalism, Years Work in Medievalism, Once and Future Classroom as well as contributions to edited collections.

Outlaws in Literature, History, and Culture

Edited by Lesley Coote and Alexander L. Kaufman

Outlaws in Literature, History, and Culture examines the nature, function, and context of the outlaw and the outlawedpeople, spaces, practicesin the premodern world, and in its modern representations. By its nature, outlawry reflects not only the outlawed, but the forces of law that seek to define and to contain it. Throughout the centuries, a wide and ever-changing, and yet ever familiar, variety of outlaw characters and narratives has captured the imagination of audiences both particular and general, local and global. This series seeks to reflect the transcultural, transgendered, and interdisciplinary manifestations, and the different literary, political, sociohistorical, and media contexts in which the outlaw/ed may be encountered from the medieval period to the modern.

Introducing Robin Hoods barn

The essays in this volume examine material from the Middle Ages to the present, ranging from literature to digital art, opera and theater studies, cinema and archeology and history, all with varied national and cultural backgrounds. Drawn from projects presented at two conferences of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies, and enhanced by scholarly conversations, these essays represent some of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on the outlaw as media creature and, consequently, as a figure inhabiting and defined by outlaw/ed spaces.1 The volume is unified by a common thread to the outlaw at all stages of his or her history, highlighting a similarity of character as well as of cultural function inherent in the person and context of the outlaw narrative. Essential elements of the narratives, for example, include disguise, trickery, official proscription, corrupt legality, and the overturning of accepted ideological imperatives and value/systems; similarly, the outlaws function as resister and challenger, a rebel as well as a freedom fighter, remains consistent.
