Robin Hood: Medieval rogue or Enlightenment gentleman
Cet essai aborde et tente de proposer une nouvelle interprétation du débat classique sur les origines sociales et idéologiques de Robin des Bois. D'un côté, certains auteurs soutiennent une version radicale de Robin des Bois qui remet en question les hiérarchies sociales ; de l'autre, on trouve ceux qui considèrent Robin des Bois comme un gentleman jouant au hors-la-loi et donc comme un partisan plutôt qu'un contestataire de l'autorité légitime. …

Sylvia Shorto, British Houses in Late Mughal Delhi
Heroic Failure and the British
From the Charge of the Light Brigade to Scott of the Antarctic and beyond, it seems as if glorious disaster and valiant defeat have been essential aspects of the British national character for the past two centuries. In this fascinating book, historian Stephanie Barczewski argues that Britain’s embrace of heroic failure initially helped to gloss over the moral ambiguities of imperial expansion. Later, it became a strategy for coming to terms with…

Joanna Lewis. Empire of Sentiment: The Death of Livingstone and the Myth of Victorian Imperialism
When David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley met at Ujiji on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in 1871, a moment that enshrined both men in legend, they were both wearing hats. The hats, which are preserved in the collection of the Royal Geographical Society, are relics of that moment, but they represent more than mere pieces of costume, for they embody the differences between the two men, their differing conceptions of imperialism in Africa, and a…
Country houses and the British Empire, 1700–1930
The 'Indian Room' label from Osterley's bell-pull system illustrates the economic and cultural aspects of the relationship between country houses and the British Empire. This book is a study of that relationship, of the ways in which country houses like Osterley served as venues for the expression of personal and national imperial engagement between 1700 and 1930. A rare scholarly analysis of the history of country houses that goes beyond an arch…

Introduction: King Arthur, Robin Hood, and British National Identity
This chapter presents the scope and outline of the topics covered in the book's study. The study examines how the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood played a role in both displaying and shaping British national identity in the nineteenth century. It focuses upon the way in which King Arthur and Robin Hood contributed to, but also challenged, the attempt to build a consensual, celebratory national history based on the notion of Britain's unique…
‘Why must we haunt to them foreign parts?’: The Legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood and British Imperialism
This chapter discusses issues of inclusion and exclusion from an imperial perspective. From the earliest versions of his legend, King Arthur has been depicted as an imperial ruler whose vast domains provide his court with much splendour. In contrast, Robin Hood has traditionally inhabited a much more circumscribed territory. In fact, his problems, and the problems of his society, have often been attributed to a misguided imperial adventure. The c…
‘The love of our own language’: The Legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood and the Rise of English Studies
This chapter discusses the role of language in the construction of a new form of British national identity in the nineteenth century. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815, France could no longer serve so readily as the ‘Other’ against which that national identity was defined. Accordingly, many Britons began to turn to other methods, and a key component of this process was language. The emergence of the study of the English language and its literature …
Myth and National Identity in Nineteenth-Century Britain: The legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood
Scholars have become increasingly interested in how modern national consciousness comes into being through fictional narratives. Literature is of particular importance to this process, for it is responsible for tracing the nation's evolution through glorious tales of its history. In nineteenth-century Britain, the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood played an important role in the construction of contemporary national identity. These two legend…
