Book Synopsis
These two complementary lives of Cuthbert illuminate both the secular history of the golden age of Northumbria and the historic shift from Celtic to Roman ecclesiastical practice which took place after the Synod of Whitby. Taken together, the lives vividly evoke the character of a remarkable churchman and provide a compelling picture of early monastic life.
