| Abstract | Building on the success of sessions dedicated to the life and writings of Bede, which have run at the IMC consecutively since 2011, the organisers wish to widen the focus of this year’s panels to incorporate other themes and topics from the Age of Bede. Session 1 is dedicated to the subject of material culture. Paper -a (Twomey) considers material evidence for Anglo-Saxon baptism in light of textual material from the period. Paper -b (Hawkes) considers the attitude towards images evident in the writings of Bede and his contemporaries. Paper -c (Boulton) explores the connections between material evidence and exegesis in the Age of Bede. |
