Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
This book explores the hagiographic context of Alfred the Great, challenging disciplinary assumptions about history and literature. By integrating Hagiography Studies with historical, literary, and biblical hermeneutics, it seeks to overcome anti-hagiographic biases that have shaped previous interpretations of Alfred's life. The book focuses on three Alfredian fables from the Old English Chronicle, the Old English Boethius, and Asser's Vita Ælfredi, analyzing their typological functions, common plot, psychological conjecture, and their role in shaping Alfred's destiny and the formation of his cult. It argues that these fables offer valuable insights into Alfred's life and legacy.
