Medieval writers were enthusiastic about sharing everything they knew about the world and how they made sense of it. One writer who was both a superstar in his day and hugely influential in our understanding of the past is the Venerable Bede. This week, Danièle speaks with Michelle Brown about Bede’s life, his contribution to a medieval understanding of everything, and how he shaped the way we think about the early Middle Ages.

Fascinating interview with Michelle but I wouldn't have expected anything less. She taught me paleography as part of my MA Medieval Studies course at London University in the 1980s and it was such an interesting and entertaining experience. So good to hear her again.

Ooh! Just registered that this is actually an interview with Michelle P. Brown! I’m a huge fan and I’m trying to get all her books! Her “Bede and the Theory of Everything” is one of my favorite books, and I’m currently reading her book on the Lindisfarne Gospels. Amazing. ❤️
