The Alfredian Renaissance refers to a cultural and intellectual revival that occurred in England during the late 9th century, primarily under the reign of King Alfred the Great. This period was marked by a renewed interest in education, literature, and the arts, as well as the translation of important texts from Latin to Old English. King Alfred aimed to improve literacy and promote learning among his people, leading to the establishment of schools and the commissioning of works like The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This movement laid the groundwork for future developments in English literature and education, significantly influencing the cultural landscape of medieval England.
