Note 176 — Appendix
Reading edition
The comparison of broadsides with traditional versions is instructive. See I, A, a, b, c; 10, A, a; 45, B; 53, L, M; 73, D; 104, B, 112, E (and II, 491); 110, A; 145, C; 151; 152; 153; 162, B; 167, B; 268. Much of the later Robin Hood poetry looks like “char-work done for the petty press” (III, 42). Robin Hood Rescuing Will Stutly (141) “is a ballad made for print, with little of the traditional in the matter and nothing in the style” (III, 185).
