Byzantium's Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in
English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries.
Where previous histories have been concerned principally with the
medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this
study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in
the various lands which formed the empire's frontier in the north
and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with
all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples - including the Serbs, Croats,
Bulgarians and Hungarians - in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and
explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of
nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin
Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the
frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle
Byzantine period.
