Synopsis
Excerpt from Asser''s Life of King Alfred: Translated From the Text of Stevenson''s Edition
The issue of Stevenson''s long and eagerly expected edition of Asser''s Life of King Alfred has provided an opportunity to supply the ever increasing number of the great king''s admirers with a more satisfactory rendering into English of this, perhaps the most precious document, notwithstanding all its faults, for the comprehension of his life and character.
The authenticity of the Life was impugned by Thomas Wright in 1841, by Sir Henry Howorth in 187 6 - 7 7, and by an unknown writer in 1898, and it had become somewhat the fashion to regard it as a production of a later period, and therefore entitled to but little credence. The doubts as to its authenticity have been satisfactorily dispelled by the two eminent scholars who have most recently discussed the difficulties, Plummer and Stevenson.
