Monasteries like Whitby Abbey where Caedmon lived also became important centers for the spread of Christianity. Works like this poem served as a tool to teach new religious values to people who were still influenced by old beliefs. And from this, we can see how writing began to replace oral traditions in conveying important stories and teachings.

Conclusion (Overall Evaluation, Implications)

"Caedmon's Hymn” is looking like a simple but meaningful poem. Caedmon uses beautiful language and special techniques to convey a message about the greatness of God and how humans exist in His created world. This poem is really important, not only because of what it says, but also because it's one of the first examples of writing that shows how Anglo-Saxon English culture changed from pagan to Christian.

It is mean this poem is not only a praise to God, but also a witness to the great changes in society at that time. We can see how art can help bring about spiritual and cultural change, even from people who might not have expected to become poets or writers. So, it's not just about the creation of the world, but also about how art can reshape cultural and spiritual identity.
