The exquisite Alfred Jewel found not far from Athelney has inscribed on its edge: " Aelfred mec heht gewyrcan", " Alfred caused me to be made." And the same might well be said of his reinvention of the English monarchy. The enormous haunting eyes which dominate the figure said to be symbols of wisdom or sight, apt qualities for a ruler whose ambitions were so lofty. Alfred' s special gift was indeed to be able to see clearly England' s place in the scheme of things, the debt of his realm to antiquity his bequest to posterity. With his realm transformed, Alfred made possible a true AngloSaxon renaissance in the 10th century, creating stunning works of Christian art and architecture. But the long shadow of Rome still fell over all this brilliance. |
