Recenzii
'Overall, a more human Alfred emerges, and a more credible one, in a more plausible context, and this is a fitting commemoration.' History '... these studies are remarkable for the precision and thoughtfulness with which they clarify our basic understanding of the significance of King Alfred's reign. The reader can turn tot his volume, almost as a specialized encyclopedia, to find the most detailed, up-to-date and nuanced evaluation of Alfred's debt to his predecessors, his relation to his contemporaries and his own innovations and special achievements.' The Medieval Review 'The value of the volume lies not only in the general quality of its contributions, but in its juxtaposition of multiple perspectives. Afredian activity gains much from its assessement in regional and European contexts, in turn generating important questions for further research. If Alfred's contribution seems more nuanced, its scope is strongly confirmed in this fitting commemoration of an extraordinary king.' Albion 'The book is splendidly produced...' Speculum
Descriere
This volume contains papers given at two conferences held to mark the eleven-hundredth anniversary of Alfred's death, that re-evaluate and contextualise Alfred's achievements and the developments of his reign. It also provides substantial assessments, by leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the large corpus of Old English literature associated with Alfred and of developments in government and society in late ninth-century England.
