title: The Times of Bede: Studies in Early English Christian Society and its Historian
author:  Patrick Wormald 
description: "The untimely death of Patrick Wormald in 2004 deprived thescholarly community of a brilliant historian best known for hismagisterial study of the development of English law during theAnglo-Saxon period. As the volume under review here clearly shows,Worrnald was also a leading figure in revising our understanding ofBede and his early medieval English cultural milieu." (CHURCHHISTORY, March 2008)<br /><br /> On display throughout  is Wormaldsconsiderable intellect and erudition and in the earlier essays inparticular an enviable familiarity with Continental scholarship.There are also occasional flashes of the theater that was a Wormaldlecture.
