Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1996.
Building on recent work in medieval folklore seeking new ways to historicize the literature and traditions of the Middle Ages, this dissertation depicts the social environments inhabited by medieval outlaws and their roles in those environments. I trace outlawry and related terms, such as exile and excommunication, through a variety of Anglo-Saxon documents, providing examples of outlawry in theory and practice. This diverse material allows us to see how outlaw stories were told, recreating the cultural context for outlaw-hero narratives; it also demonstrates close links between Anglo-Saxon ideas of outlawry, excommunication, and exile, all themes important to Old English literature.

After exploring the political and cultural bases of outlawry, I turn to the earliest cycle of outlaw narrative in England, the eleventh-century Gesta Herewardi. Unpolished and based on local traditions, the Gesta provides insights into the construction of outlaw-hero legends, as well as the social and historical circumstances of their telling. Although the Gesta has long been regarded as a product of early nationalistic spirit, it is more than early stories of English nationalism and racial identity politics. Written by a monk, the Gesta reveals the monasteries of the East Midland fenlands reconstructing their mythologies to fit changing roles after the Norman Conquest. The process of translating Hereward narratives from popular legend to institutional history, as well as from English to Latin, reveals how the fenland monasteries reworked popular legends into institutional texts as part of their reaction to societal changes in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

Traditions about Hereward are also recorded in a variety of chronicles in and around the East Midland fenlands. Read in relation to one another, these legends form an essential link in the outlaw-hero storytelling tradition that extends from the Old English stories of Godwin to the later insular romances. Ultimately, this dissertation reveals the neglected early history of a long-lived popular and literary tradition, exploring its relationship to local culture, providing insight into the ways that popular legends capture and present the cultural beliefs underlying regional political turmoil, and highlighting the ways that these legends are worked into official and institutional texts.
