Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The Ballad of the White Horse is a poem by GK Chesterton on the idealized exploits of the Saxon King Alfred the Great, published in 1911. Written in ballad form, the work has been described as one of the last great traditional epic poems ever written in The Language English. The poem tells how Alfred was able to defeat the invading Danes at the Battle of Ethandun with the help of the Virgin Mary. The poem consists of 2,684 lines of verse in English. They are divided into stanzas, which generally consist of 4 to 6 lines each. The poem is based on the form of the ballad's stanza, although the poem often departs significantly from it. Metric foot types are used more or less freely, although there is often a basic repeat on one line. The rhyme scheme varies, often it is ABCB or ABCCCB.Chesterton begins his work with a note (in prose) stating that the poem is not historical. He says he has chosen to place the Battle of Ethandune site in the Valley of the White Horse, despite a lack of concrete evidence for this location (many scholars now believe it was probably fought in Edington, Wiltshire). He says he has chosen to include legends about Alfred, even if they are historically unlikely.

Book excerpt: He did not wear his scarlet coat, For blood and wine are red, And blood and wine were on his hands When they found him with the dead, The poor dead woman whom he loved, And murdered in her bed. He walked amongst the Trial Men In a suit of shabby grey; A cricket cap was on his head, And his step seemed light and gay; But I never saw a man who looked So wistfully at the day. I never saw a man who looked With such a wistful eye Upon that little tent of blue Which prisoners call the sky, And at every drifting cloud that went With sails of silver by.

The poem is fully annotated, and is supplemented with two interesting essays by Chesterton himself. Well-known Chesterton expert, Dale Ahlquist, has gathered together all the insightful commentaries and explanatory notes. Here is the story behind the modern conflict between Christianity and Islam, between Protestant and Catholic Europe, and the origin of the Feast of the Holy Rosary. A fascinating blend of literature, history, religion and romance! "A valuable reference book that isalso a great read!" —Therese Warmus, Literary Editor, Gilbert Magazine G.K. Chesterton was one of the most prolific and renowned literary writers of the 20th Century. Dale Ahlquist, author of G.K.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ballad of the White Horse His ballad needs no historical notes, for the simple reason that it does not profess to be historical. All of it that is not frankly fictitious, as in any prose romance about the past, is meant to emphasize tradition rather than history. King Alfred is not a legend in the sense that King Arthur may be a legend; that is, in the sense that he may possibly be a lie. But King Alfred is a legend in this broader and more human sense, that the legends are the most important things about him. The cult of Alfred was a popular cult, from the darkness of the ninth century to the deepening twilight of the twentieth. It isvi ballad OF the white horse.

Book excerpt: The Ballad of the White Horse is one of the last great epic poems in the English language. On the one hand it describes King Alfred's 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.
