THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (VOLS ...

Easily the most celebrated historical work in English  Gibbon's account of the Roman empire was
in its time a landmark in classical and historical scholarship and remains a remarkable fresh
and powerful contribution to the interpretation of Roman history more than two hundred years
after its first appearance. Its fame  however  rests more on the exceptional clarity  scope and
force of its argument  and the brilliance of its style  which is still a delight to read.
Furthermore  both argument and style embody the Enlightenment values of rationality  lucidity
and order to which Gibbon so passionately subscribed and to which his HISTORY is such a
magnificent monument.
