Why read it?
1 author picked History of the English Church and People as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As close as we come to a first-hand account of events in the first part of the early medieval period. Writing in the early 8th century, Bede was able to interview some of the people who had witnessed events he describes. Bede was undoubtedly writing from the Christian perspective and he was certainly biased in favour of his native Northumbria, but his words are like a window into the past and how people (or at least the clergy) thought.
From Matthew's list on the world of Anglo-Saxon Britain.
