Robin Hood
<p>In this episode of Ars Libri, guest Sean Russell joins the show to explore the enduring legacy and historical evolution of Robin Hood. Our conversation traces the character’s development from 13th-century “jailhouse records” and 14th-century poems like Piers Plowman to the “gentrified” nobleman popularized by later playwrights and novelists. Russell—author of the Greek-inspired fiction works Thelo and Dunamai—shares insights into how early canon stories such as The Gest of Robin Hood established staples like the archery tournament and the death of the outlaw. We also discuss how figures like Friar Tuck and Maid Marian were integrated into the mythos over centuries. Russell explains the “wax nose” nature of the legend, its political subversions, and its colorful cinematic history, ranging from Kevin Costner’s 90s Americana portrayal to the “perfect aesthetics” of the spoof Men in Tights. Listeners will also get an exclusive preview of Russell’s upcoming novel, Robin Hood: The Green Knight, which reimagines the hero as a battle-hardened veteran of the Third Crusade struggling with his return to England. </p><p>Checkout these versions:</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/459mOoe">Robin Hood by Paul Creswik, Illustrated by NC Wyeth</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/49dEYru">The Adventures of Robin Hood, by Roger Lancelyn Green</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3KJl2U5">The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
