Prof. Alex Kaufman<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>is very happy to report that his book has just been published (ahead of its 2019 imprint!).\u00a0<\/span>Robin Hood and the Outlaw\/ed Literary Canon<\/span><\/i>, edited by Lesley Coote and Alexander L. Kaufman (New York and London: Routledge, 2019) is a<\/span>\u00a0cutting-edge volume of eleven essays and a critical introduction demonstrates both the literary quality and the socio-economic importance of works on \u201cthe matter of the greenwood\u201d over a long chronological period. These include drama texts, prose literature and novels (among them, children’s literature), and poetry. Whilst some of these are anonymous, others are acknowledged canonical writers, such as William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and John Keats. The editors and the contributors argue that it is vitally important to include Robin Hood texts in the canon of English literary works, because of the high quality of many of these texts, and because of their significance in the development of English literature. <\/span><\/p>\n
