The second volume in the acclaimed sequence of Barbarism and
Religion explores the historiography of Enlightenment. John Pocock
investigates a series of major authors who wrote Enlightened
histories on a grand narrative scale, were known to Edward Gibbon
and were important in the latter's own work: Giannone, Voltaire,
Hume, Robertson, Ferguson and Adam Smith. With his recognition that
the subject of the Decline and Fall demanded treatment of both the
patristic as well as the papal church, Edward Gibbon's intellectual
trajectory is both similar but at points crucially distinct from
the dominant Latin 'Enlightened narrative' these writers developed.
This volume is also informed by the perception that the interaction
of philosophy, erudition and narrative is central to the
development of enlightened historiography: once again John Pocock
shows how the Decline and Fall is both akin to but distinct from
the historiographical context within which Gibbon wrote his great
work.
