1999 marked the eleven-hundredth anniversary of the death of Alfred
the Great, and to mark this event, two international conferences
were held to re-evaluate and contextualise Alfred's achievements
and the developments of his reign. This volume includes papers
given at both events and provides substantial assessments, by
leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the large
corpus of Old English literature associated with Alfred and of
developments in government and society in late ninth-century
England. It also explores how Alfred and his kingdom related to the
wider geo-political and cultural situation in the British isles and
continental Europe, and closes with a substantial survey of the
uses and shifts in Alfred's reputation in the centuries following
his death. This substantial and wide ranging volume will become a
standard reference work for anyone interested in Old English
literature or Anglo-Saxon history, and will set the pattern of
future scholarly debate.
