Recenzje

'The venerable tradition of Roman history writing flourished long after the capital's move to Constantinople and the emergence of a Greek-speaking literary class to record its medieval fortunes. The surviving source material reflects a variety of voices - from church leaders and monks to bureaucrats, scholars, generals, and members of the imperial family - who wrote from their own distinctive perspective about the times in which they lived. Neville offers a concise introduction to a complex historiographic field by focusing on 52 important authors between the 7th and 15th centuries. … Medievalists and nonspecialists alike will be well served by this engaging introduction to the literary tradition of a rich historical world. Recommended.' M. Rautman, Choice
