Written in AD 731, Bede's work opens with a background sketch of Roman Britain's geography and history. It goes on to tell of the kings and bishops, monks and nuns who helped to develop Anglo-Saxon government and religion during the crucial formative years of the English people. Leo Sherley-Price's translation brings us an accurate and readable version, in modern English, of a unique historical document. This edition now includes Bede's Letter to Egbert concerning pastoral care in early Anglo-Saxon England, at the heart of which lay Bede's denunciation of the false monasteries; and The Death of Bede, an admirable eye-witness account by Cuthbert, monk and later Abbot of Jarrow, both translated by D. H. Farmer.… (plus d'informations)

Book 1 takes us quickly through the history of Christianity in Roman Britain and then describes the Anglo-Saxon invasions as background to the main event, St. Augustine's arrival and conversion of Kent.

Book 2 describes the spread of Christianity through Anglo-Saxon England until the conversion and of Northumbria under King Edwin.

Book 3 takes the story from King Oswald down to the death of Wigbert in Rome before he can be confirmed as Archbishop of Canterbury.

Book 4 runs from the appointment of Theodore of Tarsus as archbishop of Canterbury down to the death of St. Cuthbert.

Book 5 concludes the History by taking it down to 731, when Bede wrote it.

This translation also includes a letter from Bede to a friend of his who was a bishop about Bede's ideas for the reform of English monasticism and the duties of a bishop, and a letter from one of Bede's friends describing Bede's death.

The earlier parts of Bede's History were more interesting. The later parts tended to be just -- and then this man became bishop. I wish I knew what to make of the miracle stories. Did Bede really think they'd happened? Or were they just edifying stories which didn't necessarily have to have happened? I did find the continual discussions on the right dates to celebrate Easter a bit wearisome. I suppose they thought it was important at the time, but I found it difficult to follow and not that important anyway. ( )
