Description

Explore the intellectual landscape of the ninth century with this comprehensive study from Cambridge University Press. This volume examines the political thought at the court of King Alfred the Great (871-899), focusing on the significant period of royal learned activity during his reign. The book analyzes the inventive translations from Latin into Old English attributed to Alfred's authorship. By exploring the historical context, the text demonstrates how these writings formed a single discourse that placed Alfred at the center of rightful power and authority. Readers will gain insight into the relevance of Frankish and other European experiences, which served as sources of expertise and provided important contrasts to Alfredian thought. This scholarly work is an essential resource for those studying medieval life and the development of political authority in early England.
