An investigation of the life and world of Bede, 'the father of English history'.

Description

An accessible biography of the venerable Bede, regarded as the father of English history.

This book investigates the life and world of Bede (c. 673–735), the foremost scholar of the early Middle Ages and the "father of English history."

In addition to providing an accessible overview of Bede's life and work, Michelle P. Brown describes new discoveries regarding Bede's handwriting, his historical research, and his previously lost Old English translation of St John's Gospel, dictated on his deathbed.
