About the book

Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is one of the monumental achievements of historical writing. Across eight volumes, Gibbon traces the transformation of the Roman world from the height of imperial power through political instability, religious change, invasion and the later Byzantine Empire. His vast scope, elegant prose and critical approach to sources make the work one of the enduring classics of historical scholarship.
