What details does Bede provide his readers to give
them a sense of what Britain is like?

It provides geographical details, as well as telling elements of the history of England and the expansion of Christianity.

Explanation:

"The Ecclesiastical History of the English People" was written Venerable Bede with the focus on explaining the moments of conflict between the pre-Schism Roman Rite and Celtic Christianity and how it moved and impacted England and the entire British empire.

In order to situate readers on the situation in England at that time, the author provides several geographical details as well as historical points that show what England was like from a spatial and even cultural point of view.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
