Alfred the Great (849-899), King of Wessex, defended his realm against the Vikings and so became “King of the Anglo-Saxons.” The author of
Tom Brown’s School Days brings a novelist’s eye to this 1871 biography of the king he considered a model of what a ruler should be, in contrast to conquerors like Caesar or Napoleon.
