"The Ballad of the White Horse" by G.K. Chesterton is an epic poem that intertwines historical and mythical elements, centered around the struggle of King Alfred of Wessex against Viking invasions in the late 9th century. The narrative follows Alfred as he embodies the virtues of faith, courage, and leadership. The titular white horse symbolizes hope and resistance, representing both the English spirit and the divine guidance Alfred seeks in his battles. Through vivid imagery and rich allegory, the poem explores themes of national identity, faith in God, and the enduring power of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds.
