A student and general reader guide to the middle period, or the most imperial era, of Byzantium's history. Jenkins strives to provide a connected account of what actually went on in the East Roman Empire.
Originally published in 1940, this book contains the first English biography of the Greek poet Dionysius Solomos, a contemporary of Byron and author of the poem Hymn to Liberty, which formed the basis for the Greek and Cypriot national anthems. Jenkins quotes at length from Solomos' poems and provides the original Greek text at the end of the book.
