Kurzbiographie
Robert B. Waltz received his bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics from Hamline University in 1985, and has been involved in folk music for most of his life. In 1996, he became the founding editor of The Traditional Ballad Index, a free online bibliography and reference for folk songs of English-speaking nations. His books include The Minnesota Heritage Songbook, published in 2008 to celebrate the sesquicentennial of Minnesota's statehood; The Gest of Robyn Hode; and Romancing the Ballad, a study of the Orpheus myth and how myths and romances become ballads. He currently shares a home with several acoustic instruments and many thousand books.

Rezensionen

It is usually asserted that ballads are transmitted by oral tradition, while romances are transmitted by written tradition. Both these statements are dubious. (p. 36) - RW

"The Gest of Robyn Hode is a study of the longest early source of material about Robin Hood -- a romance of almost 2000 lines. This volume includes a newly-edited Middle English text, a parallel in Modern English, textual notes, and an introduction describing the history and some of the content of the poem." - RW
