This volume contains papers given at two conferences held to mark the eleven-hundredth anniversary of Alfred's death, that re-evaluate and contextualise Alfred's achievements and the developments of his reign. It also 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.
