By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-28. Revised by … The Robin Hood Panto was one of the shows offered at the Brighton Aquarium according to the first of the picture postcards below. The card is undated, but one specimen is postmarked Oct. 18, 1906. Designed by acclaimed architect and pier builder Eugenius Birch (1818-84), the Brighton Aquarium opened in august 1872. Apart from the aquarium, the complex contained a reading room, restaurant and conservatory. In a couple of years a roof terrace garden, roller skating rink, smoking room and music conservatory had been added. During the 1890's the establishment hosted events such as organ recitals, lectures, concerts and plays. But there was also a good deal of light entertainment, for the acts booked during the period c. 1873-88 included comedians, singers, minstrels, magicians, acrobats, clowns, ventriloquists, puppeteers, living statuary, animal acts, swimmers, and skaters.

Covent Garden. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-03-01. Revised by … Allusion WRIGHT BOWDEN.  A very different type of man from the Ormes was Wright Bowden whose fame as a singer and actor was known throughout the country a cenury ago. The son of an innkeeper (his father kept the Unicorn in Old Smithy Door in 1773), he soon showed unmistakable histrionic ability and made his way to London. There he attracted the attention of the celebrated Madame Mara, and made his first London appearance in Robin Hood at the Old Covent Garden Theatre. Michael Kelly, who was present, says: "He was received with great applause, his voice was good, and he sang with taste." Mrs. Billington was in the caste [sic], and she joined in the universal congratulations that were showered upon the new actor. After a succesful season in London, Bowden visited many of the provincial towns, where he rapidly became a favourite. He appeared on our Manchester stage several times, the first occasion being in …

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-07. Revised by … Huntingdon, formerly the county town of Huntingdonshire, now relegated to the status of a market town in Cambridgeshire, does not in itself have any clear connection with the outlaw, but from c. 1598 on Robin Hood has been frequently portrayed as earl of Huntingdon. He was endowed with this title by minor Elizabethan dramatists. More recently the idea has been especially popular with film makers. A tragedy with a lowborn criminal as its hero would not have sat well with Elizabethan theatre audiences, at least not with those segments who could afford the more expensive admission fees, so when it was decided that a proper Robin Hood tragedy must be written and staged, it was probably inevitable that the yeoman hero must have some title foisted on him. This was not entirely without precedent, for Richard Grafton in 1568 claimed to have read "in an olde an auncient Pamphlet" that Robin Hood "discended of a noble parentage: or …

Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not nor­mally expect to find in a biblio­gra­phy, but the biblio­gra­phical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.
