Byzantium lasted a thousand years, ruled to the end by self-styled
'emperors of the Romans'. It underwent kaleidoscopic territorial
and structural changes, yet recovered repeatedly from disaster:
even after the near-impregnable Constantinople fell in 1204,
variant forms of the empire reconstituted themselves. The Cambridge
History of the Byzantine Empire c.500-1492 tells the story, tracing
political and military events, religious controversies and economic
change. It offers clear, authoritative chapters on the main events
and periods, with more detailed chapters on outlying regions and
neighbouring societies and powers of Byzantium. With aids such as
maps, a glossary, an alternative place-name table and references to
English translations of sources, it will be valuable as an
introduction. However, it also offers stimulating new approaches
and important findings, making it essential reading for
postgraduates and for specialists. The revised paperback edition
contains a new preface by the editor and will offer an invaluable
companion to survey courses in Byzantine history.
