Prerequisites, Notes & Instructor
- Section Notes: From his medieval origins, Robin Hood developed from violent rebel to aristocratic hero over centuries. This class will explore the English folk tale as it transitioned from a tale of men in the forest, to commentary on the clergy and aristocracy, to tales of economic justice as Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The first half of the class will study the literary and cultural traditions from medieval to nineteenth-century depictions. The second half will investigate how Robin Hood moved from England to America, and from books to films, culminating in Russell Crowe's portrayal in 2010. ;
