Wessex and England from Alfred to Edgar: Six Essays on Political, Cultural, and Ecclesiastical Revival (Studies in Anglo-Saxon History, 3)
(This book is concerned with aspects of the revival of Eng...)
This book is concerned with aspects of the revival of English military, ecclesiastical and intellectual strength in the period from King Alfred's defeat of the Great Danish Army at Edington in 878 to the triumph of Benedictinism in the reign of Edgar. Studying the intellectual development of the first half of the 10th century, Dr Dumville argues that those decades were a period of continuation of the Alfredian Renaissance. Dumville explores the difficulties of Alfred's reign and shows how the efforts undertaken to overcome them formed the basis for a culture and poltical structure that achieved a maturity under his 10th-century successors.
