Analysing the whole sequence of Robin Hood adventures, it begins with the medieval tradition, including early poems and the long-surviving sung ballads, and goes on to look at two variant Robins: the Scottish version, here named Rabbie Hood, and gentrified Robin, the exiled Earl of Huntington, now partnered by Lady Marian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nineteenth century re-imagined Robin as a modern figure—a lover of nature, Marian, England, and the rights of the ordinary man.
