    About this ebook

    This is an intriguing portrait of Alfred the Great (849-899), the most famous of the Saxon monarchs. The volume presents eight different writers—all prominent English men of letters—who examine the life and times of the King, with such chapters as “King Alfred as a Writer,” “English Law Before the Conquest,” and the excellent chapter, “King Alfred as Warrior,” by Charles Oman.
