Studies
in Medieval Life
and Thought
FOURTH SERIES
Paperback Re-issue
This book is a comprehensive study of political thought at the
court of King Alfred the Great
(871-99).
It explains the ex¬
traordinary burst of royal learned activity focused on inventive
translations from Latin into Old English attributed to Alfreds own
authorship. A full exploration of context establishes these texts as
part of a single discourse which placed Alfred himself at the heart
of all rightful power and authority. A major theme is the relevance
of Frankish and other European experiences, as sources of
expertise and shared concerns, and for important contrasts with
Alfredian thought and behaviour. Part I assesses Alfred s rule
against West Saxon structures, showing the centrality of the royal
household in the operation of power. Part II offers an intimate
analysis of the royal texts, developing far-reaching implications
for Alfredian kingship, communication and court culture.
Comparative in approach, the book places Alfred s reign at the
forefront of wider European trends in aristocratic life.
