The English speaking world has waited a thousand years for a worthy dramatic impersonation of King Alfred. And here it is.... The play will stand not alone upon the grateful response it wins from the English national heart, but as a work of art.... The author is supremely a poet, the master of metaphor not less than of melody.... It is a play not only to be read but to be acted.... This vivid drama is not cast in the conventional classic mould. It is distinctly and wholly English in spirit and form, and intensely modern—but breathing the air of morning, of springtime, of fresh adventure.—Henry Mills Alden, The New York Times Saturday Review.
King Alfred's noble and vigorous character is limned with great skill, while Elfreda, a graceful and innocent maiden, flits through the play like a woodland fairy.—The Glasgow Evening News, Scotland.
The living Alfred lives in this gracious play, for the author has fashioned his great spirit out of the mist of time.—James Douglas, The Star, London.
