Аннотация
In light of the traditional view of Robin Hood as a symbol of the Yeomanry, the idea of his noble origins at the end of the Elizabethan era and the beginning of the Jacobean era deserves further exploration. Using comparative historical and literary-historical methods, this article attempts to identify the reasons for such a radical transformation of this image by examining two plays by the English playwright Anthony Munday (1560–1633) – The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntington (1601) and The Death of Robert, Earl of Huntington (1601). By making Robin Hood the central figure of these plays, the playwright not only honored his first mentor but also highlighted the enduring universality of this image within a historical context, while using it as a lens to explore the urgent issues of his era.
