Where previous histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire's frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples - including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians - in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. 607 $aBalkan Peninsula$xPolitics and government 607 $aByzantine Empire$xPolitics and government$y527-1081 607 $aByzantine Empire$xPolitics and government$y1081-1453 607 $aByzantine Empire$xEthnic relations 676 $a949.6/0144 700 $aStephenson$b Paul$0834842 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964236203321 996 $aByzantium's Balkan frontier$91865993 997 $aUNINA
