Bede wrote history, biblical commentary and works on chronology in early medieval England. Ecclesiastical History of the English People is his best-known book, tracing the conversion of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the growth of monasteries and churches, and figures such as Augustine of Canterbury and Cuthbert. The work combines documents, oral reports, miracle stories and chronological narrative, making it a central source for early English history as well as Christian history. Bede also wrote commentaries on scripture and works explaining time, calendars and the calculation of Easter. His style is orderly and learned rather than dramatic. His work fits medieval history, Anglo-Saxon England, church history and primary-source reading. Read more Less
