What is the author's tone in Alfred the Great: Asser's Life of King Alfred & Other Contemporary Sources?

The tone of the authors, Keynes and Lapidge, is scholarly and dispassionate as.

The tone of Asser's Life of King Alfred is very different. He makes no attempt to be unbiased, but rather, writes about his subject with great admmiration.

The tone of Alfred's personal documents is one of humility.
