Abstract
In recent years, a wealth of new scholarship has appeared, which is dedicated to the history and culture of the Byzantine Empire. The chronological, geographical and thematic range of this scholarship varies considerably, but much of the literature is very accessible to the non-expert audience. This article presents a synopsis of the most approachable research and identifies some of the most exciting areas of study. While Constantinople has often dominated the attention of historians, this article suggests that the Byzantine provinces deserve, and are now receiving, much greater scrutiny.
