Seven East Publishing proudly announces the release of a groundbreaking book titled Robin Hood’s Barn: A Study of Ice Age Culture. This extraordinary work is the life’s achievement of the late Arthur Hill Corwin, an esteemed artist, architect, and former professor and dean at The Cooper Union School of Art in New York City. Expertly designed by Yvette L. Francis, a professor at City College of New York and a former pupil of Corwin, the book offers an insightful study into the ingenious ways our ancestors preserved and transmitted crucial knowledge necessary for survival during the Ice Ages.
Robin Hood’s Barn delves into the enduring knowledge encapsulated in our calendars, myths, traditions, fairy tales, and games, highlighting how these cultural elements continue to be visible in modern society. The book positions itself at the intersection of prehistoric art, astronomy, mythology, art history, and anthropology, providing a comprehensive analysis of a sophisticated Ice Age culture. Corwin’s research reveals that this ancient culture had a profound understanding of nature, astronomy, geometry, and aesthetics, which lives on through contemporary fairy tales, holidays, and cultural symbols.
Arthur Hill Corwin’s dedication to this project spanned his entire life, with many years devoted to meticulous research, artwork, and production. The result is a 400-page hardcover coffee table book featuring over 600 images of artifacts, original drawings, and illustrations by the author. Priced at $120 retail, Robin Hood’s Barn offers readers a unique perspective on our shared past, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
One of the key revelations in Robin Hood’s Barn is the existence of an advanced global Ice Age culture with a shared worldview and language. Corwin presents compelling evidence that many pop culture symbols, myths, and traditions we encounter today are preserved knowledge from the Ice Age. From Mother Goose rhymes to iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe, these cultural mainstays are rooted in the sophisticated knowledge of our ancestors.
“The reality was that Ice Age people had a sophisticated knowledge of nature, astronomy, geometry, and aesthetics – one that lives on to this day through fairy tales, holidays, and culture, despite millennia of repression by agrarian and cosmopolitan cultures that followed it,” Corwin explains in the book. He further elaborates, “In this vast tapestry, many unbroken threads lead back to the glacial era. Robin Hood’s Barn demonstrates how many pop culture symbols, myths, and traditions of today are preserved knowledge from the Ice Age that were crucial and necessary for survival. Learning this testimony of enduring information provides hope for humankind today.”
The book offers a thorough exploration of themes and mnemonic devices that have persisted from the Ice Age to the present. It showcases how our ancestors used these tools to transmit essential knowledge, ensuring the survival of their communities. The cultural connections drawn in Robin Hood’s Barn are both fascinating and enlightening, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the continuity of human experience.
Yvette Francis, who designed the book, brings her own expertise and connection to Corwin to the project. As a former pupil of Corwin, she was uniquely positioned to translate his vision into a beautifully crafted publication. Her design enhances the rich content, making the book not only an academic resource but also an aesthetically pleasing addition to any bookshelf.
The release of Robin Hood’s Barn marks a significant contribution to the fields of art history, anthropology, and cultural studies. It invites readers to reconsider their understanding of ancient cultures and their lasting impact on modern society. By tracing the threads of our cultural heritage back to the Ice Age, Corwin’s work offers a new lens through which to view the world.
