Omschrijving

Alfred The Great: England's Darling is a historical biography written by Alfred Austin in 1901. The book provides a detailed account of the life and reign of King Alfred the Great, who ruled England from 871 to 899 AD. Austin portrays Alfred as a heroic figure who saved England from Viking invasions and united the country under his rule.The book begins with a description of the political and social conditions in England during the 9th century, and how the Viking raids devastated the country. Austin then delves into Alfred's childhood and upbringing, his education, and his early struggles as a ruler. The author also explores Alfred's military campaigns against the Vikings, his efforts to promote education and culture, and his legacy as one of England's greatest monarchs.Throughout the book, Austin uses a vivid and engaging writing style to bring the historical events and characters to life. He draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including chronicles, poems, and biographies, to provide a comprehensive and accurate account of Alfred's life and times.Alfred The Great: England's Darling is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval history, English literature, or the cultural and political history of England. It is also a fascinating portrait of a remarkable and influential figure who shaped the course of English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
