From the Paper:

"The purpose of this research is to provide a critique of the Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. The plan of the research will be to set forth the principal design and plan of the History, and then to discuss those elements of the book that may have the effect of providing insight into its enduring importance. As appropriate, those elements of the book that place it into a discernible sociohistorical context for modern review will also be noted.


The individual stories related in the History contain elements that, as Farmer comments, may throw light on the archeology of England, even as the archeology of England may inflect the modern understanding of Bede's "motives, his limitations and his omissions . . . his regional bias, his academic partisanship and the paucity of his sources" (p. 23)."
