'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. In the
fourth volume in the sequence, first published in 2005, Pocock
argues that barbarism was central to the history of western
historiography, to the history of the Enlightenment, and to Edward
Gibbon himself. As a concept it was deeply problematic to
Enlightened historians seeking to understand their own civilised
societies in the light of exposure to newly discovered
civilisations which were, until then, beyond the reach of history
itself.
