Gable, John Harris, compil. A Bibliography of Robin Hood (University of Nebraska Studies in Language, Literature and Criticism, vol. 17) (Lincoln, Nebraska, 1939). With some 950 works in a total of c. 1550 editions/printings Gable's bibliography remains an essential reference for the period up to 1935. For rarer items Gable lists libraries holding copies, and in most cases he provides references to bibliographical sources. However, the bibliography is by no means exhaustive. A wealth of materials in sources that do not belong to the Robin Hood tradition proper, especially allusions, dramatic records, and primary soruces for Robin Hood place-names, was left untapped. Coverage of sources in languages other than English is also extremely patchy.
