Write the Life

View through CrossRef
Historians have been baffled by the way Asser interlaces allusions to Einhard, echoes of his own words, and hagiographic clichés. Reading the Vita Alfredi as literature advances the current paradigm shift in our attitudes towards Asser, allowing us to appreciate the rhetoric and imagination that inform his imitatio of Einhard’s Vita Karoli. Thomas Greene on literary imitation, Walter Berschin on Carolingian life-writing, Christopher Ricks on the poetics of allusion, Erich Auerbach on prefiguration and fulfillment, David Howlett on chiasmus, and John Hollander on self-echoing illuminate the literary game Asser plays with clichés, echoes, and allusions. By condensing the modus of Alfred’s life into a childhood fable, a hagiographic figura, he invites us to see him succeed where Einhard failed.
