Scholar,
ecclesiastic,
teacher
and
poet
of
the
eighth
century,
Alcuin
was
a
person
of
deep
Christian
faith,
tenacious
in
his
loyalty
to
orthodox
Catholic
theology.
He
had
a
seminal
influence
upon
his
own
generation
and
those
that
came
after
him.
Althoughhe
remained
a
Northumbrian
Christian
at
heart,
the
part
of
his
life
about
which
most
is
known
was
spent
on
the
Continent.
He
never
lost
contact
with
his
homeland;
but
his
most
significant
and
lasting
work
was
evidently
accomplished
in
Europe
and
his
influence
on
the
early
medieval
Western
Church
was
an
abiding
one.
This
book
examines
his
life
and
career
in
England
and
on
the
continent;
it
also
considers
his
legacy
as
a
churchman
and
a
leading
political
figure.
This
volume
prefigures
a
forthcoming
work
onAlcuin's
intellectual
legacy,
'Alcuin
:
A
Study
of
his
Theology'
(due
for
release,
April
2013).
This
rich
study
is
intended
for
the
general
reader
as
well
as
for
those
studying,
teaching
or
researching
this
period
of
early
medieval
history
and
theology
in
schools
and universities.
