A cowherd who is given a divine gift, C dmon retells the great narratives of Christian history in the traditional form of Anglo-Saxon verse. An immense amount has been written about this episode, much of it concentrating on the hymn's significance in the history of English literature. Relatively little attention, however, has been paid to what the story of C dmon and his hymn might tell us about the material, as well as the textual, culture of Bede's world. The essays in this collection seek to connect C dmon's Hymn to Bede's material world in various ways. Each chapter begins with the hymn and moves from the text to the worlds of scientific thought, settlements and social hierarchy, monastic reform, and ordinary things. The connections explored here are a sampling of the material concerns C dmon's Hymn raises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen J.
