Review

"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"No one has written about the history and culture of Byzantium with such luminous intelligence as Averil Cameron."—Peter Thonemann, Times Literary Supplement"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"A must-read for anyone studying Byzantium."—Library Journal
