This sixth and final volume in John Pocock's acclaimed sequence of
works on Barbarism and Religion examines Volumes II and III of
Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, carrying
Gibbon's narrative to the end of empire in the west. It makes two
general assertions: first, that this is in reality a mosaic of
narratives, written on diverse premises and never fully synthesized
with one another; and second, that these chapters assert a progress
of both barbarism and religion from east to west, leaving much
history behind as they do so. The magnitude of Barbarism and
Religion is already apparent. Barbarism: Triumph in the West
represents the culmination of a remarkable attempt to discover and
present what Gibbon was saying, what he meant by it, and why he
said it in the ways that he did, as well as an unparalleled
contribution to the historiography of Enlightened Europe.
