Více o knize
The poem highlights the valor of King Alfred the Great, portraying his struggles against Danish invaders with an idealized lens. Through the narrative, the Virgin Mary is depicted as a divine ally in Alfred's victory at the Battle of Ethandun, despite the lack of historical evidence for this event. Comprising 2,684 lines arranged in stanzas of 4 to 6 lines, it stands as one of the last great traditional epic poems in English. Celebrated as a classic, it offers profound themes accessible to readers of all ages.
