Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire. By Judith Herrin. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2007. xxiv + 393 pp. $29.95 cloth.

Inspired by the questions of curious construction workers, Judith Herrin, professor of Byzantine studies at King's College, London, has written a "different" Byzantine history for readers seeking a first exposure to Byzantium. In the past two decades, Byzantine history has been transformed by a generation of scholars who have applied the perspectives of social and economic history, archaeology, material culture, and ...
