Holmes has made major contributions both to the study of medieval historiography and to the reassessment of the nature of Byzantine provincial government in the tenth and early eleventh centuries (Rosemary Morris, Early Medieval Europe)
substantial monograph... This is compelling stuff
This is an important book. The work of a young Byzantinist, and published in a new Oxford series, it is attractively produced and, for all its length, highly readable ... an admirable demonstration of how to deal with a historical period for which the evidence is both uneven and in need of very careful analysis ... The eleventh century in Byzantium is a well-known problem area for historians, but with this elegant and well-argued book Holmes has done the field of Byzantine history a major service. (Journal of Ecclesiastical History)
Catherine Holmes has provided an indispensible resource for all scholars and students of the period. (Michael Kaplan, The Anglo-Hellenic Review, Vol. 35)
This is the first book-length study in English of the Byzantine emperor Basil II. Basil II, later known as 'Bulgar-slayer', is famous for his military conquests and his brutal intimidation of domestic foes. Catherine Holmes considers the problems Basil faced in governing a large, multi-ethnic empire, which stretched from southern Italy to Mesopotamia. Her close focus on the surviving historical narratives, above all the Synopsis Historion of John Skylitzes, reveals a Byzantium governed as much by persuasion as coercion. This book will appeal to those interested in Byzantium before the Crusades, the governance of pre-modern empires, and the methodology of writing early medieval political history.
