On the one hand it describes King Alfreds battle against the Danes in 878. On the other hand it is a timeless allegory about the ongoing battle between Christianity and the forces of nihilistic heathenism. Filled with colorful characters  thrilling battles and mystical visions  it is as lively as it is profound. Chesterton incorporates brilliant imagination  atmosphere  moral concern  chronological continuity  wisdom and fancy. He makes his stanzas reverberate with sound  and hurries his readers into the heart of the battle. This deluxe volume is the definitive edition of the poem. It exactly reproduces the 1928 edition with Robert Austins beautiful woodcuts  and includes a thorough introduction and wonderful endnotes by Sister Bernadette Sheridan  from her 60 years researching the poem.
