| Abstract | Of all medieval legends, Robin Hood is the one who has been 'remembered' the most in plays, ballads, books, and films, and landmarks. This panel explores the various ways that certain aspects of the medieval Robin Hood tradition have been remembered by people and/or adapted by writers, artists, and filmmakers from the 17th century to the 20th century. This series of papers, however, is not only about how the legend of Robin Hood has been remembered, but will contribute to scholarship by showing how elements of it have been adapted and fused with other myths and legends, such as Father Christmas, Wat Tyler, and King Arthur. |
