Scholar, ecclesiastic, teacher and poet of the eighth century,
Alcuin was a person of deep Christian faith, tenacious in his
loyalty to orthodox Catholic theology. He had a seminal influence
upon his own generation and those that came after him. Although he
remained a Northumbrian Christian at heart, the part of his life
about which most is known was spent on the Continent. He never lost
contact with his homeland; but his most significant and lasting
work was evidently accomplished in Europe and his influence on the
early medieval Western Church was an abiding one. This book
examines his life and career in England and on the continent; it
also considers his legacy as a churchman and a leading political
figure. This volume prefigures a forthcoming work on Alcuin's
intellectual legacy, 'Alcuin : A Study of his Theology' (due for
release, April 2013). This rich study is intended for the general
reader as well as for those studying, teaching or researching this
period of early medieval history and theology in schools and
universities.
