As the major writer and thinker of the Anglo-Saxon period, the
Venerable Bede is a key figure in the study of the literature and
thought of this time. This Companion, written by an international
team of specialists, is a key introductory guide to Bede, his
writings, and his world. The first part of the volume focuses on
Bede's cultural and intellectual milieu, covering his life, the
secular-political contexts of his day, the foundations of the Latin
learning he inherited and sought to perpetuate, the ecclesiastical
and monastic setting of early Northumbria, and the foundation of
his home institution, Wearmouth-Jarrow. The book then considers
Bede's writing in detail, treating his educational, exegetical and
historical works. Concluding with a detailed assessment of Bede's
influence and reception from the time of his death up to the modern
age, the Companion enables the reader to view Bede's writings
within a wider cultural context.
