| Zusammenfassung: | This book situates Alfred the Great in his hagiographic context. For 150 years, the fables told in the ninth century about Alfred’s childhood have posed interlocking disciplinary challenges to historians committed to evicting romance from history. Victorian scholars expunged Alfred's legends, salvaged his historicity, and thus purified his cult. This book frees us from their anti-hagiographic commitments by weaving historical, literary, and biblical hermeneutics into hagiography studies. It focusses on the typological functions of three Alfredian fables from the 'OE Chronicle', Asser's 'Vita Ælfredi', and the 'OE Boethius', analyses the plot common to all three, and critiques the psychological conjecture that Alfred’s childhood memory was their original source. This helps us see how Alfred shaped the curve of his own destiny and engaged in the formation of his own cult. |
