Book Overview

Cuthbert of Lindisfarne: His Life and Times is a historical biography written by Alfred C. Fryer in 1880. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Saint Cuthbert, a seventh-century saint and bishop of Lindisfarne, an island off the coast of Northumberland, England. The book provides a detailed account of Cuthbert's early life, his time as a monk, his work as a bishop, and his eventual canonization. It also explores the political and religious landscape of Anglo-Saxon England during Cuthbert's lifetime, including the rise of Christianity and the conflicts between different kingdoms. Fryer's work draws on a variety of sources, including historical records, hagiographies, and legends, to provide a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of England's most revered saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
