ENG 842 Seminar: Venerable Bede
The Venerable Bede ranks among the towering intellectuals of the Middle Ages. In this seminar, we will sample (in translation) a significant portion of his oeuvre, including representative works from all genres in which he worked (exegetical, scientific, didactic, historical). The readings will serve as a window on Bede's thought, the world in which he lived, and the program of monastic learning he sought to create.
