{"product_id":"9781942401308","title":"Alfred the Great","description":"Alfred the Great is a rare historical figure from the early Middle Ages, in that he retains a popular image. This book provides a reassessment of the famous ruler of Wessex, informed by current scholarship, both on the king as a man in history, and the king as a subsequent legendary construct. Daniel Anlezark presents Alfred in his historical context, seen through Asser's Life, the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, and other texts, and explores how this ninth-century king of Wessex came to be considered the \"Great\" king of legend.","brand":"Arc Humanities Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157735194864,"sku":"9781942401308","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781942401308_p0.jpg?v=1763757995","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781942401308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
