Bibliography of writing on translations by Alfred and others for
his programme of educational reform. The earliest extensive body of
English prose-writing dates from the reign of King Alfred, who
personally translated Latin texts with the assistance of his court
scholars, and commissioned others to contribute translations for
hisprogram of educational reform. This volume provides an
introduction to and annotated bibliography of scholarly literature
on Alfred's translations of Gregory's Pastoral Care, Boethius's
Consolation of Philosophy, Augustine's Soliloquies, and Psalms of
the Paris Psalter; Wærferth's translation of Gregory's Dialogues;
and the anonymous translations of Orosius' History and Bede's
History. The bibliography covers editions, literary criticism,
linguistic analyses and other relevant writing from the sixteenth
century up to 1996; it also lists the many biographies of Alfred
(including Asser's contemporary Life of Alfred and scholarly
studies of it), major histories, and other publications that have
drawn upon the translations for evidence, or that shed light on the
circumstances of production. The book aims to provide a guide not
only to scholarly writing focused onthe texts themselves, but also
to the contexts and attitudes that have shaped response to Alfred
and the literature of his reign. Dr GREG WAITE teaches in the
Department of English at the University of Otago, New Zealand.
