Wanted, Byzantium: The Desire for a Lost Empire (Uppsala Universitet, 2014)
Edited by Ingela Nilsson & Paul Stephenson, with a chapter by Adam Goldwyn
Series: Studia Byzantina Upsaliensia

The sixteen essays in this volume are held together by methodology rather than theme. Like tesserae in a Byzantine mosaic, they are firmly set in the filed of reception studies, but each takes on its own avenue to showcase ways in which Byzantium was imagined and understood, and for what purposes it was used both during its lifespan and in more modern histories. The editors offered tradition, innovation, imagination, and desire as keywords, and they are to be congratulated for a truly interdisciplinary volume. -- Cristina Stancioiu, The College of William and Mary
