The biography of the legend rather than the person of Guy of Warwick, beginning with its antecedents in the Norman and Anglo- Saxon worlds. Traces the hero's progressive degeneration from the champion of secular and sacred order in the 13th and 14th centuries through popularization and political exploitation in Middle English versions, and vulgarization in the plays and ballads of the Renaissance and Restoration, to a one-dimensional character in 20th-century children's books and tourist brochures. Integrates material, visual, and textual evidence to provide a comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
