The historic Robin Hood--actually an amalgam of several outlaws of medieval England--was eventually transformed into the romantic and deadly archer-swordsman who \"robbed from the rich to give to the poor.\" This image was reinforced by popular literature, song--and film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This volume provides in-depth information on each film based on the immortal hero. In addition, other historical figures such as Scottish rebel-outlaws Rob Roy MacGregor and William Wallace are examined.
