Alfred's life, work and influence studied through writings of his
age. Alfred and the great achievements of his reign are once more
at the centre of scholarly discussion, and the studies in this
collection make a significant contribution to the continuing
debate. Focusing particularly on the writingsof Alfred's age, the
contributions, by leading scholars in the field, examine Alfred's
life, work and influence: there are accounts of law and morality;
examinations of translations and their sources; and investigations
of wordsand events, throwing new light on all major aspects of
Alfred's reign. As a whole, the volume is an appropriate tribute to
Janet Bately, whose writings on the age of Alfred are known and
admired by both historians and literary scholars throughout the
world. Professor JANE ROBERTS teaches in the Department of English,
King's College, London; Professor JANET L. NELSON, Director of the
Centre for Late Antiques and Medieval Studies, teaches in the
