Summary "King Alfred of England" by Jacob Abbott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the life and legacy of King Alfred, who is renowned as a foundational figure in the history of the British monarchy. It focuses on his significant contributions to the development of England during a tumultuous era marked by invasions and struggles for power. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the historical context of Britain, including the early inhabitants and the rise of the Anglo-Saxons. It describes the various groups that shaped the land, notably the Britons, Anglo-Saxons, and Danes, before delving into Alfred's early life and the circumstances that led to his eventual ascension to the throne. Abbott highlights Alfred's early years, his education, and the socio-political environment of the time, emphasizing the critical challenges he faced, particularly from Viking invasions. The beginning acts as a prelude to Alfred's eventual efforts to unite and strengthen England, laying the groundwork for understanding his reign and the historical significance of his leadership.
