* {{:Bellamy, John G 1985a}}. While this sustained attempt to salvage and redevelop the Hunter/Walker/Harris hypothesis should be of interest to anyone with a serious interest in the Robin Hood tradition, it also exemplifies, more than any other academic contribution to the topic, the "empiricist" tendency among historians so often criticized by Stephen Knight. See: Nielsen, Henrik Thiil, below.
* {{:Bellamy, John G 1985a}}. While this sustained attempt to salvage and redevelop the Hunter/Walker/Harris hypothesis should be of interest to anyone with a serious interest in the Robin Hood tradition, its basic assumption that the [[Gest of Robyn Hode]] can be read as an historical source is highly questionable.

* {{:Wilson, Geoff 2019a}}. Exploration of the historical and topographical background of the ''Gest'', mainly in the field. Has valuable insights, but the author rather too often goes astray because he does not know the ''Gest'' well enough (an example is his claim that it offers no clues that the 'Lee' from which the knight comes is situated in Lancashire), does not know most of the essential secondary literature, and advances novel place-name etymologies apparently without any knowledge of the methodology of place-name studies or the specialist literature on the topic.
