جزییات کتاب
An original dialectical Marxist interpretation placing Byzantium within universal history.In this ambitious survey of Byzantine history - covering institutional developments, events, religious conflicts, and art - Lindsay asks about the world-historical achievements of the Eastern Roman Empire and its contribution to the passage from antiquity to feudalism on the European path towards modernity. The book is refreshing in its dialectical mode of analysis. It earned a favourable assessment from the doyen of Byzantine studies in France Rodolphe Guilland, while the Times Literary Supplement ran an anonymous review of it that proposed to ban all Communists from teaching history (which view the editors then defended from the letters sent in protest).
