ARGS 813 - Life and Times of Bede the Venerable

3 credits
Within a hundred years following the death of the Venerable Bede in 735, A.D., England, once an enclave of violent Anglo-Saxons, had become the home of a Christian culture which influenced the whole development of letters and learning in Western Europe.  Bede at once became one of the first and greatest of English writers.  In fact, Bede was one of the most learned and prolific writers that England has produced.  Besides his unique History of the English Church and People, we shall read a sampling of his many letters, poems, homilies, and educational treatises
