Exploring the historical context of the Old English translation of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum, the book delves into whether King Alfred the Great commissioned it as part of his educational initiatives for the Anglo-Saxons. It examines the text as a potential political and religious manifesto that contributed to a developing English identity amidst Viking threats. Andreas Lemke offers an interdisciplinary perspective, providing fresh insights that will engage scholars across literature, language, philology, and history.
