New Book Series: Byzantine Emperors and Empresses
(Sent on behalf of the editors)
The Routledge Byzantine Emperors and Empresses series is conceived as a collection of authoritative historical biographies covering rulers who claimed the imperial throne from the reign of Constantine (marking the endpoint of the Routledge Roman Imperial Biographies series) to the fall of Trabzon in 1461.
We invite proposals by specialists in the relevant period who will examine not only the personal lives, actions, and characters of the monarchs but also the wider political, social, cultural, religious, and historical contexts of their reigns.
A typical monograph should include:
A comprehensive narrative of the emperor of empress' life
Critical engagement with primary sources (e.g. Procopius, Psellos, and others)
Analysis of the broader historical framework, including administration, church relations, and warfare
An assessment of the ruler's legacy and its historiography
A detailed and up-to-date bibliography
