Competing Archives, Competing Histories: French and Its Cultural Locations in Late-Medieval England

Abstract

Thus, around 731 in Northumbria, Bede famously summarizes the language setting of his land. Despite his acknowledgement of the four ethnically linked insular languages and their implicit histories of invasion and conflict, though, Bede aims to draw that fragmented world, by analogy with divine law and Bible study, into a single transcendent and Latin-dominated system, however narrow a population segment may practice it.
