Synopsis

Gibbon offers an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell, a task made difficult by a lack of comprehensive written sources, though he was not the only historian to tackle the subject. Most of his ideas are directly taken from what few relevant records were available: those of the Roman moralists of the 4th and 5th centuries.

À propos de l'auteur

Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was an English historian and Member of Parliament whose The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of historical writing. Published between 1776 and 1789, the six-volume work traces the transformation and eventual fall of the Roman Empire through centuries of political, military, and religious change. Gibbon's elegant prose, careful use of sources, and broad analytical perspective established a new standard for historical scholarship and narrative history.
