Alfred’s name is mainly connected with Anglo- Saxon prose, and his contribution to its growth is beyond any exaggeration. His contribution to the development of Anglo-Saxon prose is marked in a three-fold way:

First, he helped the development of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle or simply The Chronicle which was the first true specimen of Anglo-Saxon prose.

Second, he initiated and encouraged the English translations of certain great Latin works.

Third, he himself wrote and thereby contributed to the growth of Anglo-Saxon prose.

Hope this helps you
