  •   In the greatest work of history in the English language,Edward Gibbon compresses thirteen turbulent centuries into agripping epic narrative. It is history in the grandeighteenth-century manner, a well-researched drama charged withinsight, irony, and incisive character analysis. In elegant prose,Gibbon presents both the broad pattern of events and thesignificant revealing detail. He delves into religion, politics,sexuality, and social mores with equal authority and aplomb. Whilesubsequent research revealed minor factual errors about the earlyEmpire, Gibbon's bold vision, witty descriptions of a vast cast ofcharacters, and readiness to display his own beliefs and prejudicesresult in an astonishing work of history and literature, at oncepowerfully intelligent and enormously entertaining.

      Based on David Womersley's definitive three-volume PenguinClassics edition of The Decline and Fall of the RomanEmpire, this abridgement contains complete chapters from allthree volumes, linked by extended bridging passages, vividlycapture the style, the argument, and the architecture of the wholework.   Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was inspired to write The Historyof the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire while on a trip toRome in 1764. It was completed in 1788.
