A Companion to Bede Paperback / softback
by George Hardin (Royalty Account) Brown
Part of the Anglo-Saxon Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
A full and accessibly-written survey of Bede and his works, including a chapter on his legacy for subsequent history. The Venerable Bede is a crucial figure for Anglo-Saxonists, arguably the most important, known character from the period.
A scholar of international standing from an early period of the Anglo-Saxon church [c.672-732], he was the author not only of the well-known Ecclesiastical History of the English People, but also of scriptural commentaries, hagiographies, scientific works, admonitory letters, and poetry.
This book provides an informative, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide to Bede and his writings, underlining in particular his importance in the development of European history and culture.
It places Bede in his contemporary Northumbria and early Anglo-Saxon England, dedicates individual chapters to his works, and includes a chapter on Bede's legacy for subsequent history. GEORGE HARDIN BROWN is Professor of English emeritus, Stanford University.
