Reviews

Another welcome addition to the most valuable 'Translated Texts for Historians Series from the Liverpool University Press. New Directions 200903 Calvin Kendall is to be commended for continuing the excellent standards in translating and annotating that mark the series. His is the first rendering of the work into any language. The achievement is significant as reading Bede's commentaries in the original Latin is not easily essayed. Kendall's book this joins the other published translations of Bede's commentaries in making these important texts -- which Bede himself did not hesitate to describe as his life's work. English Studies, Vol. 90, No. 3 200906
