"The Byzantine Dark Ages" explores current debates about the sudden
transformation of the Byzantine Empire in the wake of
environmental, social, and political changes. Those studying the
Byzantine Empire, the successor to the Roman Empire in the eastern
Mediterranean, have long recognized that the mid-seventh century
C.E. ushered in sweeping variations in the way of life of many
inhabitants of the Mediterranean world, with evidence of the
decline of the size and economic prosperity of cities, a sharp fall
in expressions of literary culture, the collapse in trade networks,
and economic and political instability."The Byzantine Dark Ages"
looks at the material evidence for the seventh to ninth centuries,
lays out the current academic discourse about its interpretation,
and suggests new ways of thinking about this crucial era. Important
to readers interested in understanding how and why complex
societies and imperial systems undergo and adapt to stresses, this
clearly written, accessible work will also challenge students of
archaeology and history to think in new ways in comprehending the
construction of the past.
