Title: Alfred the Great
Description: "This book presents Alfred in his historical context, seen through Asser's Life, the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, and other texts. It engages with current discussions about the authenticity of attributions to Alfred of works such as the Old English Boethius and Soliloquies, and explores how Alfred came to be considered the ''Great'' king of legend."--Provided by publisher.
