Averil Cameron
'A grand synthesis, a rational scheme for understanding Procopius,
his works, the sixth century, and late antiquity in general.
Throughout, Cameron's grasp of the subject is masterfully intuitive
and rates as intellectual dynamite.' - American Historical
Review
'Averil Cameron has made a major contribution towards the
understanding of a period that is as fascinating as it is opaque.'
- Cyril Mango, Times Literary Supplement
'Professor Cameron's prose is always lucid and her procedures
carefully and consistently applied.' - Jane Gardner, British Book
News
'A book which will be indispensable for students of the age of
Justinian, as well as those of Greco-Roman historiography, and
which will surely remain so for a long time.' - Journal of Hellenic
Studies
'The appearance of a paperback edition of Cameron's study at an
affordable price is very welcome to students of western Europe as
well as of Byzantium.' - Early Medieval Europe
