Joseph Ritson's Robin Hood is the first example of Robin Hood scholarship. The two-volume 1795 edition was reprinted in 1832; many single-volume editions have also been printed. Ritson's essay on Robin Hood remains a touchstone for Robin Hood scholarship; though modern scholars have found many faults with Ritson's conclusions and methods, his work is considered the foundation of Robin Hood scholarship.
