Sir Steven Runciman's History of the Crusades (1951–4) remains

Sir Steven Runciman’s History of the Crusades (1951–4) remains widely

read and influential to this day but represents only a part of his

wide-ranging, erudite and immensely readable literary output. His

early work focused on Byzantium in the tenth century (The Emperor

Romanus Lecapenus) and the history of the first Bulgarian empire. Later

he wrote with authority on ecclesiastical relations between the Eastern

and Western Churches (The Eastern Schism), and more generally on

Byzantine culture (Byzantine Style and Civilization), with forays into

medieval diplomacy (The Sicilian Vespers) and British colonial society

(The White Rajahs). With a diplomatic past which informed his work,

he was the doyen of Byzantine studies in Britain. This volume of essays

on topics relevant to Sir Steven’s interests, long planned in his honour

by British Byzantinists of all generations, includes a memoir of his life

and a full bibliography of his writings.

e l i z a b et h j e f f reys is Bywater and Sotheby Professor of Byzan-

tine and Modern Greek Language and Literature in the University of

Oxford, and Fellow of Exeter College; she has published extensively on

topics in Byzantine literature.

Acknowledgements

This book has been far too long in the making, for which the final editor

offers her share of the apologies. It had its origins in the wish to honour Sir

Steven on the occasion of his ninetieth birthday, when a small conference

was held in Glenesk in Scotland. The contributors and their themes have

evolved over the intervening years, and alas, Sir Steven is no longer with

us to receive his volume. It is offered as a modest memorial to the wide

range of interests of that most courteous and accomplished of historians:

the book’s title is intended to reflect those interests. The contributors span

the generations of British Byzantinists, from those who had known him

throughout their academic lives to more recent entrants to the field, who

came to appreciate his role as President of the Society for the Promotion of

Byzantine Studies.

Thanks are due to Michael Angold for initiating this enterprise, to the

British Academy for permission to reproduce Anthony Bryer’s memoir of

Sir Steven, and to William Davis and Michael Sharp at Cambridge University

Press for their patience and helpfulness. But especial thanks are due to Ann

Shukman for her support throughout the preparation of this book, and

most particularly for her vital role in the compilation of the bibliography of

Sir Steven’s writings.

Note that the usual problems of consistent transliteration of Greek names are

particularly acute when a book’s subject matter spans the centuries. Rather

than descend into an abyss of pedantry, a certain inconsistency has been

allowed, particularly over place names referring to places in present-day

Greece.
