Alfred Great Eleventh Centenary Conferences Medieval
In 1999, the 1100th anniversary of the death of Alfred the Great, two global 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 significant assessments, by leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the big corpus of Old English creative writing of recognized artisti value affiliated with Alfred and of developments in government and society in late 9th century England. It also explores how Alfred and his kingdom affiliated to the wider geo-political and cultural circumstance 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.
