'Barbarism and Religion' - Edward Gibbon's own phrase - is the
title of a sequence of works by John Pocock designed to situate
Gibbon, and his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, in a series
of contexts in the history of eighteenth-century Europe. This is a
major intervention from one of the world's leading historians,
challenging the notion of any one 'Enlightenment' and positing
instead a plurality of enlightenments, of which the English was
one. The first two volumes of Barbarism and Religion were warmly
and widely reviewed, and won the Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural
History of the American Philosophical Society. In this third volume
in the sequence, The First Decline and Fall, John Pocock offers an
historical introduction to the first fourteen chapters of Gibbon's
great work, recounting the end of the classical civilisation Gibbon
and his readers knew so much better than the worlds that followed.
