Bede the Historian (second cohort)

Venerable Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People tells the story of the Christian Church in Britain, providing the reader with a portrait of England from paganism to Christianity.  Bede’s partiality in favour of Roman traditions – as opposed to Ionan ones – becomes evident, as does his aim to show the Anglo-Saxons as a unity, instead of as competing kingdoms. This course will study Bede’s credentials as the first English historian, illustrated by Bede’s own words.
