Description

Keeping with the longstanding tradition of two Congress sessions dedicated to the Venerable Bede (c. 673-735), the organizers have put together 2 panels for 2014. Recent Congress strands have focused upon Bede’s relationships with others (‘Friends and Enemies’, 2012), and the factors that shaped the composition and reception of Bede’s writings (‘Intellectual Landscapes’, 2013), but the session titles for 2014 are intentionally broad. The broad titles were designed to attract researchers who do not necessarily work on Bede per se, but who are working on parallel or contextual material which would be of interest to an audience of Bede scholars. The 2014 sessions will signal new developments in Bede scholarship and showcase new directions in the study of Bede and his oeuvre from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Submissions were sought on any aspect of Bede’s life, times, intellectual inheritance, writings, or legacy.
