Title: The Oxford History of Byzantium by Cyril A. Mango ISBN: 0-19-814098-3 Publisher: Oxford Press Pub. Date: March, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2 (2 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: an extremely disappointing work
Comment: While one certainly can't expect the history of Byzantium to be dealt with exhaustively in a 300+ page book, this book falls seriously short of Oxford University Press's typically high standard. 12 contributors' work make up this compilation of articles on the history of Byzantium. Most of the articles seem rushed and many are tedious to read (this coming from someone fascinated by the subject.) Additionally, many of the authors write in a condescending tone. There isn't a footnote or endnote to be found, although there is a chapter by chapter bibliography. I would seriously consider looking elsewhere for books on the subject, especially considering the price.

Summary: Oh Well they tried to do a very hard subject
Comment: I bought this book last Xmas at Foyles and brought it back to the states when I finally got the chance to read it. I frankly was very disappointed with it. The illustrations were fairly good but the text was not up to the usual standards of Oxford. Go to Norwich and you will be much better off !
