Description

Undeniably the greatest historical work in the English language, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire proves that brilliance of style and accuracy of statement are perfectly compatible in a historian. Gibbon’s style renders this work a lasting monument. Gibbon traces the history of more than thirteen centuries and covers the great events as well as the general historical progression. He thoroughly examines the movement and settlements of the Teutonic tribes that eventually held the western empire in fee, the rise of Islam, and the Crusades. This first volume covers a.d. 180 to a.d. 395 , which includes the establishment of Christianity.
