5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible Book,
This review is from: Times of Bede: Studies in Early English Christian Society and its Historian (Hardcover)
Wormald was the best Anglo-Saxon historian ever to live. And to label him a historian is perhaps an almost reductive title, for as these essays show, he was much more. In the classic "Bede, Beowulf, and the Conversion of the Anglo-Saxon Aristocracy," reprinted here with an amazingly insightful appendix, Wormald shows himself to be as good as any literary critic in his treatment of Beowulf. That essay is a bright point in a brilliant career, so I single it out, but the reader should know that this entire book is great. Highly recommended.
