Maid Marian
About this book
One of the metadata fields is off: *Maid Marian* is a satirical novel by Thomas Love Peacock first published in 1822, not 1997 (that's likely a reprint date). Here's a description drawn from well-established knowledge of the actual work:
A comic, satirical retelling of the Robin Hood legend, following Marian as she flees an arranged marriage to join the outlaws of Sherwood Forest. Suited to readers of early nineteenth-century English satire and lighthearted takes on medieval romance.
Thomas Love Peacock
Thomas Love Peacock was an English novelist, poet, and official of the East India Company. He was a close friend of Percy Bysshe Shelley, and they influenced each other's work. Peacock wrote satirical novels, each with the same basic setting: characters at a table discussing and criticising the philosophical opinions of the day.
