"A must-read for anyone studying Byzantium."-Library Journal "A book on a mission. . . . [I]t sets out to do nothing less than make its readers realise why Byzantium is not something long ago and far away but something that should matter to us all."-Liz James, Anglo-Hellenic Review "No one has written about the history and culture of Byzantium with such luminous intelligence as Averil Cameron."-Peter Thonemann, Times Literary Supplement "Byzantine Matters is a fighting book. . . . [A]s a program for Byzantine studies in themselves, it is a crackling description of an intellectual trajectory."-Peter Brown, New York Review of Books
Reseña del editor
Why the marginalized story of Byzantium has much to teach us about Western history For many, Byzantium remains byzantine-obscure, marginal, difficult. Despite the efforts of some recent historians, prejudices still deform understanding of the Byzantine civilization, often reducing it to a poor relation of Rome and the rest of the classical world. In this book, renowned historian Averil Cameron addresses misconceptions about Byzantium, suggests why it is so important to integrate the civilization into wider histories, and lays out why Byzantium should be central to ongoing debates about the relationships between West and East, Christianity and Islam, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and the ancient and medieval periods. The result is a compelling call to reconsider the place of Byzantium in Western history and imagination.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book explores five major themes, all subjects of controversy. 'Absence' asks why Byzantium is routinely passed over, ignored, or relegated to a sphere of its own. 'Empire' reinserts Byzantium into modern debates about empire, and discusses the nature of its system and its remarkable longevity. 'Hellenism' confronts the question of the 'Greekness' of Byzantium, and of the place of Byzantium in modern Greek consciousness. 'The Realms of Gold' asks what lessons can be drawn from Byzantine visual art, and 'The Very Model of Orthodoxy' challenges existing views of Byzantine Christianity. Throughout, the book addresses misconceptions about Byzantium, suggests why it is so important to integrate the civilization into wider histories, and lays out why Byzantium should be central to ongoing debates about the relationships between West and East, Christianity and Islam, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and the ancient and medieval periods. The result is a forthright and compelling call to reconsider the place of Byzantium in Western history and imagination. Artikel-Nr. 9780691196855
