Why the marginalized story of Byzantium has much to teach us about
Western history For many, Byzantium remains byzantine-obscure,
marginal, difficult. Despite the efforts of some recent historians,
prejudices still deform understanding of the Byzantine
civilization, often reducing it to a poor relation of Rome and the
rest of the classical world. In this book, renowned historian
Averil Cameron addresses misconceptions about Byzantium, suggests
why it is so important to integrate the civilization into wider
histories, and lays out why Byzantium should be central to ongoing
debates about the relationships between West and East, Christianity
and Islam, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and the ancient and
medieval periods. The result is a compelling call to reconsider the
place of Byzantium in Western history and imagination.
