Famously sceptical about Christianity, unexpectedly sympathetic to
the barbarian invaders and the Byzantine Empire, constantly aware
of how political leaders often achieve the exact opposite of what
they intend, Gibbon was both alert to the broad pattern of events
and the significant revealing detail. Attacked for its enlightened
views on politics, sexuality and religion, the first volume was
none the less soon to be found 'on every table' and was widely
acclaimed for the elegance of its prose. Gripping, powerfully
intelligent and wonderfully entertaining, THE HISTORY OF THE
DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE ranks as one of the literary
masterpieces of its age.
