Japanese Aesthetics and Anime: The Influence of Tradition

This study addresses the relationship between Japanese aesthetics, a field steeped in philosophy and traditional knowledge, and anime, a prominent part of contemporary popular culture.

There are three premises:

(1) the abstract concepts promoted by Japanese aesthetics find concrete expression at the most disparate levels of everyday life

(2) the abstract and the concrete coalesce in the visual domain, attesting to the visual nature of Japanese culture at large

(3) anime can help us appreciate many aspects of Japan’s aesthetic legacy, in terms of both its theoretical propositions and its visual, even tangible, aspects.

Robin Hood

He robbed from the rich to give to the poor, or so the legend goes.

But who was the outlaw known as Robin Hood?

How did his legend develop, and how has it changed over the passing centuries?

This new title in the Osprey Myths and Legends series takes a detailed look at the famous outlaw, beginning with a retelling of the early ballads that established his stories. From there, the book explores how the legend grew and how famous names such as Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and Alan-a-Dale became associated with Robin Hood. It also enters the perilous world of Robin Hood scholarship with a critical analysis of the case for a ‘historical’ Robin Hood and a review of the mostly likely candidates.

A perfect primer for young and old alike, this book covers both the fact and the fiction of Britain’s most famous outlaw.
