Before stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood were adapted and readapted for film, television and theater, radio scriptwriters looking for material turned to Thomas Malorys Le Morte Darthur (1485) and Howard Pyles The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883). From the 1930s throughout the mid1950s, their legends inspired storylines for Abbott and Costello, Popeye, Lets Pretend, Escape, Gunsmoke, The Adventures of Supermanand others. Many of these adaptations reflect the moral and ethical questions of the day, as characters' faced issues of gender relations, divorce, citizenship, fascism, crime and communism in a medieval setting.

"Describe American radio adaptations of the King Arthur and Robin Hood legends airing between the 1930s and mid-1950s and how radio episodes demonstrate the medieval British ideal of chivalric knighthood as a standard of American morality and masculinity and defined the difference between "good and 'bad' conduct by emphasizing a character's chivalric qualities"--ProtoView; "Echols has uncovered a goldmine of lost or mostly forgotten American medievalisms of the twentieth century, and for this accomplishment her readers should be grateful"--Speculum.

Katherine Barnes Echols teaches at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Her areas of interest include American radio productions from the 1930s through the 1950s as cultural artifacts and adaptation theory.
