Product Information
BL The first major study of King Alfred since Plummer's in 1902BL Presents a radical new interpretation of Alfred, based on previously unavailable evidenceWarrior, law-giver, and scholar, Alfred the Great is celebrated as one of Britain's most successful and heroic kings. In this, the first biography for almost one hundred years, Professor Smyth explores the life of this remarkable man. His conclusion is controversial; he argues that Asser's Life of Alfred, hitherto the most important source of our knowledge about the king, is a late medieval forgery. This revelation has profound implications for our understanding of the whole of Anglo-Saxon history.

'The key part of his work is an elaborate argument to show that the contemporary Life of Alfred, attributed to Asser, is a forgery, worthless as evidence for the King and the events of his reign.....The case is argued in grreat detail, and deserves more thorough consideration than can be givenin a brief review.'Times Literary Supplement, '...monumental and polemical biography...Smyth's dismissal of Asser allows him to present a more convincing picture of an early medieval king...Smyth's detailed and pugnaciously argued book shows a conception of scholarship as a battlefield similar to the "killing grounds" of the Viking wars.'The Guardian, '...elaborate and impressive study...It provides a most interesting account of academic scholarship...Smyth does manage to grasp the elusive figure of the real King named Alfred.
