The pre-eminent historian of his day, Edward Gibbon (1737-94)
produced his magnum opus in six volumes between 1776 and 1788.
Reissued here is the authoritative seven-volume edition prepared by
J. B. Bury (1861-1927) between 1896 and 1900. Immediately and
widely acclaimed, Gibbon's work remains justly famous for its
magisterial account of Roman imperialism and Christianity from the
first century CE through to the fall of Constantinople and beyond.
Innovative in its use of primary sources and notable for its tone
of religious scepticism, this epic narrative stands as a
masterpiece of English literature and historical scholarship.
Volume 1 commences with the early emperors and a survey of the
empire's extent and expansion. Examining Roman culture, law,
government, slavery and agriculture, Gibbon guides the reader
through three centuries to Constantine's emergence as sole emperor
in 324.
