This 2007 study was the first to systematically investigate
Byzantine imperial ideology, court rhetoric and political thought
after the Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204 - in the Nicaean
state (1204 61) and during the early period of the restored empire
of the Palaiologoi. The book explores Byzantine political
imagination at a time of crisis when the Empire ceased to be a
first-rate power in the Mediterranean. It investigates the
correspondence and fissures between official political rhetoric, on
the one hand, and the political ideas of lay thinkers and
churchmen, on the other. Through the analysis of a wide body of
sources, a picture of Byzantine political thought emerges which
differs significantly from the traditional one. The period saw
refreshing developments in court rhetoric and political thought,
some with interesting parallels in the medieval and Renaissance
West, which arose in response to the new historical realities.
