Final answer:

The effect of religious and fantastical elements in Bede's story about Caedmon during the time of publication was positive, enhancing the tale and not discrediting historical accuracy.


Explanation:

The effect of the religious and fantastical elements in Bede's story about Caedmon during the time it was published would have been:

  1. The references would have enhanced the tale of Caedmon's talent since religion was a part of people's everyday lives. Bede's incorporation of religious elements would have resonated with the readers of that time as religion played a significant role in society.
  2. The references would have discredited Bede's historical accuracy. Bede's use of fantastical elements would not have been perceived negatively back then as historical narratives often included elements of legend and myth that were accepted as part of storytelling.

Therefore, during the time of publication, these references would have enriched the story rather than detracted from it.
