This book represents the first attempt to analyze historical and
cultural developments in late medieval and early modern
southeastern Europe as a set of mutually intertwined regional
histories, burdened by the strong dichotomy between the almighty
center-Constantinople-and the periphery that is rarely visible in
both contemporary sources and modern scholarship. This mosaic of
original studies is devoted to various regions of the Byzantine
Balkans and their historical, artistic, and ideological
idiosyncrasies, mirroring the complex character and composite and
fragmented structure of this vast region. The focal points of the
book are the two captures of Constantinople in 1204 and 1453, and
the contributors analyze the significance of these catastrophic
events on the political destiny of medieval Balkan societies, the
mechanisms of adapting to the new political order, and the
ever-present interconnectedness of a lower, regional elite across
southeastern Europe that had remained strong even after the Ottoman
conquest.
