  • Treacherous 'Saracens' and Integrated Muslims
    TREACHEROUS ‘SARACENS’ AND INTEGRATED MUSLIMS: THE ISLAMIC OUTLAW IN ROBIN HOOD’S BAND AND THE RE-IMAGINING OF ENGLISH IDENTITY, 1800 TO THE PRESENT 1 ERIC MARTONE Stony Brook University [email protected] 53 In a recent Associated Press article on the impending decay of Sherwood Forest, a director of the conservancy forestry commission remarked, “If you ask someone to think of something typically English or British, they think of the Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood… They are part of our national identity” (Schuman 2007: 1). As this quote suggests, Robin Hood has become an integral component of what it means to be English. Yet the solidification of Robin Hood as a national symbol only dates from the 19 th century. The Robin Hood legend is an evolving narrative. Each generation has been free to appropriate Robin Hood for its own purposes and to graft elements of its contemporary society onto Robin’s medieval world. In this process, modern society has re-imagined the past to suit various needs. One of the needs for which Robin Hood has been re-imagined during late modern history has been the refashioning of English identity. What it means to be English has not been static, but rather in a constant state of revision during the past two centuries. Therefore, Robin Hood has been adjusted accordingly. Fictional narratives erase the incongruities through which national identity was formed into a linear and seemingly inevitable progression, thereby fashioning modern national consciousness. As social scientist Etiénne Balibar argues, the “formation of the nation thus appears as the fulfillment of a ‘project’ stretching over centuries, in which there are different stages and moments of coming to self-awareness” (1991: 86).

  • Maid Marian Maid Marian Fitzwalter Was Born in 1173 at the Old Bilborough Hall, Which Is Now Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre
    Maid Marian Maid Marian Fitzwalter was born in 1173 at the old Bilborough Hall, which is now Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre. It was Marian’s family who had commissioned the building of St Martins church in Bilborough, near where they lived, to be built – a project which Little John had worked on a site labourer. Marian was a free spirit. Rejecting her family’s status and wealth, she spent more time with the regular folk in Bilborough or in the nearby deer park at Wollaton than with the landed aristocracy. It is during this time she met a young Robin, who was living in the area. They remained friends whilst Robin was away during the Crusades. It is during this time that Marian was promised to be married to Eustachius de Moreton, Lord of Wollaton and Algarthorpe (in modern day Basford). Marian was not happy with the match and broke off the engagement, waiting for Robin to return. Eustachius, unhappy that Marian had broken it off, challenged her to a horse race from Algarthorpe to Woodthorpe, the finish line now where the house in Woodthorpe Park stands. Marian won easily and the chided Eustachius returned to Basford. When Robin returned, the two fell in love and she quickly became an important ally in the fight against the evil Sherriff. She was an able spy and lockpick who would help Robin and his outlaw companions whilst still appearing to be a lady of the court. She could pass through Nottingham and its Castle as she pleased, gleaning useful information. Marian received many the scornful look as she cheered on the disguised Robin during the Golden Arrow competition on what is now the Forest Recreation ground and remained to see Robin and his companions share the spoils of his win with the people of Hyson Green.

He had a limited education, but his mother encouraged him to read on a daily basis.1 In his adult life, he became a professional author. He greatly admired Walter Scott, whom he referred to as “the immortal author of Waverley.”2 Indeed, such was his admiration that it was in emulation of Scott’s Ivanhoe (1819) that Miller authored his own Robin Hood novel titled Royston Gower; or, The Days of King John, published in December 1838.3 Ivanhoe had a profound influence upon the Robin Hood legend.

  • Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-Reviewed Robin
    A REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S PUBLICATIONS IN ROBIN HOOD SCHOLARSHIP Mikee Delony Abilene Christian University Peer-reviewed Robin Hood scholarship published in 2015 includes two single-author books, two edited book chapters, and eight journal articles. These publications examine specific texts from the matter of Robin Hood, providing new approaches to familiar texts and further exploration of less-familiar materials. Many scholars also comment on the tradition’s capacity for seemingly endless adaptation and highlight the similar ideological and political threads woven through the materials. Shining an academic light upon five centuries of Robin Hood texts that celebrate political resistance and public activism against oppression takes on new importance in light of contemporary global resistance to government overreach and systemic oppression. Since Robin Hood scholarship also tends to resist categorization, I have loosely grouped these reviews by literary chronology and genre. GENERAL STUDIES In Reading Robin Hood: Content, Form, and Reception in the Outlaw Myth,1 Stephen Knight revisits the Robin Hood literary tradition from his position as one of the early pioneers in the field of Robin Hood studies. In his survey, which ranges from medieval oral ballads to twenty- first film and television adaptations, Knight notes the multivalent, “unhierarchial, nonlinear” (10) nature of the tradition and suggests that Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizomatic “model of multiplicity” (234) might best describe the “various, porous, [and] richly labile” legend (10). Writing that the Robin Hood tradition “renews itself in turns of current political forces and media of dissemination and consistently has as scant a respect for literary and formalistic authority as it has for social and legal forces of order” (253), Knight celebrates the characteristics that prevent the tradition from achieving canonical status at the same time they have remained relevant for centuries.

  • Will Scarlett Will “South of the River” Scarlett Was Born in Clifton in 1175
    Will Scarlett Will “South of the River” Scarlett was born in Clifton in 1175. He was Robin Hood’s cousin and lived in Clifton until he was outlawed. Will was a dyer and gained his nickname of Scarlett through his hands being dyed red from the colours he would be washing into the cloth he sold. The mill where Will worked would have been on the site of the current John Carroll Leisure Centre. Will was outlawed for opposing the Sheriff’s taking of the winter stores of the people of Clifton, which would have left them starving. With the help of Little John and Robin, they managed to scare off the Sherriff’s bailiffs and break their wagon meaning they couldn’t take the supplies allowing the people of Clifton to survive the harsh winter. After this point he became one of Robin’s companions though would often be found back in Clifton or the neighbouring Meadows. After being outlawed, he joined Robin and his companions in Sherwood Forest (their main encampment is what would now be Bestwood Country Park) – ambushing people travelling for Nottingham to York along the King’s Road (we now know this as Mansfield Road – the A60 – which runs through Sherwood), using this to buy things for those who needed them. Wilford was supposedly called that after Will and it being the ford in the river he would use to cross when coming into Nottingham or up to Sherwood Forest. Will was an adept boatman and would often use small vessels on the Leen and Trent in the raids on Nottingham.
