Description

Alfredian Texts and Contexts features papers on topics associated with the literature, theology, philosophy, and history of Alfred the Great. In this year's session, Hilary Fox proposes a previously unrecognized source for the Old English Boethius, and James Andrew Estes uses a theological hermeneutic to read the texts in Alfred's program of translation.
