This book, originally published in 1921, contains a collection of monographs on the history of the Balkans and Eastern Roman Empire, particularly after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Miller covers a great deal of often-neglected history from the area, including the Mad Duke of Naxos, Francesco III Crispo, and the 'Byzantine Blue Stocking' Anna Comnena.
