Contents:
Intro -- Contents -- Introduction: Rethinking Rus' -- 1. The Byzantine Ideal -- 2. The Ties That Bind -- 3. Rusian Dynastic Marriage -- 4. Kiev as a Center of European Trade -- 5. The Micro-Christendom of Rus' -- Conclusion: Rus' in a Wider World -- Appendix: Rulers of Rus' -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Acknowledgments -- Index.
Summary: An overriding assumption has directed scholarship in both European and Slavic history: that Kievan Rus' was part of a Byzantine commonwealth separate from Europe. Raffensperger refutes this, and offers a new frame for two hundred years of history, in which Rus' is understood as part of medieval Europe, and East is not so neatly divided from West.
