During the early Middle Ages, King Alfred (reigned 871-99) gained
fame as the ruler who brought learning back to England after
decades of Viking invasion. Although analysis of Alfred's canon has
focused on his religious and philosophical texts, his relatively
overlooked law code, or Domboc, reveals much about his rule, and
how he was perceived in subsequent centuries. Joining major voices
in the fields of early English law and literature, this exploration
of King Alfred's influential text traces its evolution from its 9th
century origins to reappearances in the 11th, 12th, and 16th
centuries. Alfred's use of the vernacular and representation of
secular practices, this work contends, made the Domboc an ideal
text for establishing a particularly ""English"" national identity.
