Alfred and the great achievements of his reign are once more at the centre of scholarly discussion, and the studies in this collection make a significant contribution to the continuing debate. Focusing particularly on the writings of Alfred's age, the contributions, by leading scholars in the field, examine Alfred's life, work and influence: there are accounts of law and morality; examinations of translations and their sources; and investigations of words and events, throwing new light on all major aspects of Alfred's reign.As a whole, the volume is an appropriate tribute to Janet Bately, whose writings on the age of Alfred are known and admired by both historians and literary scholars throughout the world. Professor Jane Roberts teaches in the Department of English, King's College, London; Professor Janet L. Nelson, Director of the Centre for Late Antiques and Medieval Studies, teaches in the Department of History, King's College, London; Professor Malcolm Godden is Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford. Contributors and contents: Andrew Breeze, J.E. Cross, Andrew Hamer, Roberta Frank, Allen J. Frantzen, M.R.Godden, Walter Goffart, Lynne Grundy, Cyril Hart, Joyce Hill, Simon Keynes, Ann Knock, Bruce Mitchell, Janet L. Nelson, Barbara Raw, Jane Roberts, D.G. Scragg, Alfred B. Smyth, E.G.
