Description
Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a seminal work that chronicles the history of the Church in Britain from the Roman invasion to the 8th century. Written in 731 AD, this is the first account of Anglo-Saxon England ever written, providing a unique insight into the period's politics, culture, and conversion to Christianity. The book tells the story of the kings, bishops, monks, and nuns who shaped the development of government and the faith during these formative years. Bede's vivid portrait of an emerging church and nation is enhanced by his descriptions of the deeds of great men and women, as well as the landscape, customs, and ordinary lives of the people. This revised edition includes Bede's Letter to Egbert and The Death of Bede, two valuable additions that provide further insight into the author's thoughts and the historical context.
