King Alfred In English Poetry is a book written by James Loring Arnold and published in 1898. The book explores the representation of King Alfred the Great in English poetry, from the early Anglo-Saxon period to the late Victorian era. Arnold examines how Alfred has been portrayed as a heroic figure, a wise ruler, and a symbol of Englishness throughout history. The book includes analyses of works by famous poets such as Milton, Tennyson, and Wordsworth, as well as lesser-known poets and anonymous authors. Arnold also provides historical context for each work and discusses the cultural and political significance of Alfred's legacy. King Alfred In English Poetry is a comprehensive study of the ways in which one of England's most celebrated monarchs has been immortalized in verse over the centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
