Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This is the second of a two-part article on the later medieval Cumberland outlaw ballad of Adam Bell, the first of which appeared in last year's Transactions (2021). Whilst Part 1 focused on the narrative and far north-western provenance of Bell during the early-tomid Lancastrian era, Part 2 considers the similarities between Bell and Robin Hood, the classic exemplar of later medieval outlaw balladry. It is argued that there are similarities between the two ballads in terms of their propagation of the common theme of outlaws operating in and around a forest setting for entertainment purposes. However, the narrative, socio-political and ideological differences between the earliest Robin Hood tales and the Adam Bell tale are emphasised. | ||
