Books by A.J. Pollard

Henry V is the best-known military hero in English history: better known than Marlborough or Wellington, or his grandfather, Edward III. His victories have become the touchstone of English nationalism, English militarism and English imperialism.

A.J. Pollard takes us back to the earliest surviving stories of Robin Hood, the 15th-century tales and ballads. Set in the economic, social and political context of the time, the legend of Robin Hood is illuminated.
