A study which pays more attention to post-Medieval developments than most prior works on the outlaw tradition (presumably this circumstance suggested the book's immodest subtitle). The book is an important work on the Robin Hood tradition, even if there are many points where I believe a more detailed analysis of the evidence must lead one to disagree with Knight. I find it unfortunate that there should be so many disparaging remarks about the work of Knight's predecessors in the field. It is largely thanks to a good half dozen historians that Robin Hood has become an accepted part of university curricula, but Knight writes them off as ""empiricists" and often denies the validity of the conclusions they reached without discussing the evidence in any detail. Neither is it, for instance, entirely fair when Knight claims that before this book there did not exist "any serious literary study" (p. viii) of the outlaw tradition or that previous writers have in most cases failed to appreciate the complexity of early modern Robin Hood folk festivities (pp. 99-100). At times, one gets the impression that Knight earnestly believes Robin Hood studies did only really start with him. All this being said, the book is required reading, but it does in no way replace the work of Holt or Dobson & Taylor
