King Alisaunder
''King Alisaunder'' or ''Kyng Alisaunder'' is a Middle English romance or romantic epic in 4017 octosyllabic couplets. It tells the story of Alexander the Great's career from his youth, through his successful campaigns against the Persian king Darius and other adversaries, his discovery of the wonders of the East, and his untimely death. George Saintsbury described ''King Alisaunder'' as "one of the most spirited of the romances", and W. R. J. Barron wrote of its "shrewd mixture of entertainment and edification made appetizing by literary and stylistic devices of unexpected subtlety."
== Composition and authorship ==
''King Alisaunder'' dates from the end of the 13th century or the early 14th century, and is based on the Anglo-Norman ''Roman de Toute Chevalerie''. The name of the author is not known, but he probably lived in or around London, and he is thought by some to have also written the romances ''Richard Coer de Lyon'', ''Arthour and Merlin'' and ''The Seven Sages of Rome''.
