Synopsis

Excerpt from The Byzantine Empire: The Rearguard of European Civilization

Roman Empire. There is at present, I believe, no book on the subject in the English language between Professor Oman's sketch in the 'story of the Nations' series and monumental works like those of Gibbon, Finlay, and Bury. The Early Middle Age of Europe has always had a fascination for me, and on the wonderful story of the Byzantine' Empire I have concentrated much atten tion. When, therefore, Mr. Gordon Home broached the idea of the present volume, I readily undertook the task, believing that a knowledge of what was required, combined with a real enthusiasm for my subject, might enable me to produce a book which would fill the gap.
