An engaging and accessible introduction to the writings and
intellectual development of the Venerable Bede (d.735), this book
(originally published in 1970) is available again for the enjoyment
of all those interested in the early medieval world. With an
updated preface and supplementary bibliography by Michael Lapidge,
the book is based almost entirely on primary sources, particularly
Bede's own writings. The book surveys the fragmented state of
Britain after the Anglo-Saxon conquests, tracing the - sometimes
faltering - rebirth of Christianity from the time of St. Augustine
through to the glories of the golden age of Northumbria in the
eighth century. What was Bede's contribution to the growth of
scholarship? Why is his famous Ecclesiastical History of the
English Church and People still so highly regarded? How did Bede
see his own age? What traditions most influenced him? Peter Hunter
Blair answers all these questions, assessing Bede sympatheticaly in
all the fields in which he was active, as teacher, orthographer,
moral philospher, grammarian, theologian, natural scientist and,
above all, as our first modern historian.
