This volume is framed by articles that throw interesting light on
the achievement and reputation of the greatest of Anglo-Saxon kings
- Alfred. It opens with a wide-ranging study of the literary and
archaeological evidence for the novel design of Alfred's ships,
design which in later times led to his being regarded as the father
of the English navy. The book closes with a survey of the
development of the Alfredian legend from the tenth to the twentieth
century, with material drawn from a wide variety of different
sources, including art and literature, much of which may be
unfamiliar to students of Anglo-Saxon England. Between these two
articles on King Alfred lies a variety of studies which illustrate
Anglo-Saxon England's aim of encouraging the interdisciplinary
study of surviving records. The usual comprehensive bibliography of
the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon
studies rounds off the book.
