(John Bagnell) 1861-1927 text bibliography text enk London Macmillan and Co. 1912 monographic eng xv, 530 pages ; 23 cm This is a narrative history of the Eastern Roman Empire in the Ninth Century. Bury focuses largely on political history with the cultural and social aspects of this period relegated a lesser role. Separate chapters are devoted to different parts of the empire: the first few chapters are concerned with the major rulers, before moving onto the administrative aspects and the wars of this period. Bulgaria, and the conversion of the Slavs and Bulgarians are then discussed, and the related empire of the Khazars is given a chapter. The book also considers the art, education and learning of the empire. The provision of key material as an appendix allows the reader access to important source material for the history of this period. Copyright Not Evaluated by J.B. Bury ...
