{"product_id":"alfred-the-great-18","title":"Alfred the Great","description":"1999 marked the eleven-hundredth anniversary of the death of Alfred the Great, and to mark this event, two international 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 substantial assessments, by leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the large corpus of Old English literature associated with Alfred and of developments in government and society in late ninth-century England.  It also explores how Alfred and his kingdom related to the wider geo-political and cultural situation 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.  This substantial and wide ranging volume will become a standard reference work for anyone interested in Old English literature or Anglo-Saxon history, and will set the pattern of future scholarly debate.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259373670744,"sku":"9781138248304","price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138248304_5ea23232-4420-4169-8b69-147a102a113b.jpg?v=1769085939","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/alfred-the-great-18","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
