EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "King Alfred the Great: The Enlightened Monarch of the West Saxons Engaging in Scholarship" King Alfred the Great, renowned as the wise and learned monarch of the West Saxons, is depicted in this evocative image as he immerses himself in the pursuit of knowledge. Born in 849 AD, King Alfred was a pivotal figure in the history of England, reigning from 871 to 899 AD during a tumultuous period of Viking invasions and political instability. Despite the challenges of his time, King Alfred was deeply committed to education and the arts. This historical print, by an unknown artist, captures the king in a contemplative moment, surrounded by the trappings of scholarship. He is shown with a scroll in one hand, while the other hand rests on a book, suggesting that he is in the midst of studying or composing something. The serious expression on his face underscores his dedication to learning. King Alfred's reign was marked by a revival of learning and culture in England. He established schools, translated important texts into Old English, and encouraged the study of Latin and Greek. This intellectual renaissance helped to lay the foundations for the later development of the University of Oxford and Cambridge. The image of King Alfred reading is a powerful reminder of the importance of education and the role that it can play in shaping the course of history. This historical print invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of this great monarch and the profound impact that his commitment to learning had on the people of England and beyond. King Alfred's story is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and to leave a lasting mark on the world. This image of the king in deep thought, surrounded by the fruits of his intellectual labor, is a fitting tribute to his enduring legacy as an enlightened ruler and a champion of learning.
