The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon

Gibbon began writing in 1776 and finished twelve years later, having taken the story from the height of the Antonines to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 — thirteen centuries in one continuous argument.

His thesis, that the empire declined through the loss of civic virtue and the rise of Christianity, has been argued with ever since; his prose has not been surpassed. The footnotes alone are worth the price, and the famous chapters fifteen and sixteen on the early Church got him accused of impiety across Europe.

The founding masterpiece of modern historical writing, in an abridged single-volume edition.
