Edward Gibbon
(27 April 1737 – 16 January 1794)

was an English historian and Member of Parliament. His most important work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1788. The History is known principally for the quality and irony of its prose, its use of primary sources, and its open denigration of organized religion, though the extent of this is disputed by some critics.

Caricature of Gibbons

The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,

a major literary achievement of the 18th century published in six volumes,
was written by the celebrated English historian Edward Gibbon.
Volume I was published in 1776, and went through six printings (a remarkable feat for its time).
Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, VI in 1788-89.
The original volumes were published as quartos, a common publishing practice of the time.
The books cover the period of the Roman Empire after Marcus Aurelius, from just before 180 to 1453 and beyond,
concluding in 1590. They take as their material the behaviour and decisions that led to the decay and eventual
fall of the Roman Empire in the East and West, offering an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell.
Gibbon is sometimes called the first “modern historian of ancient Rome.” By virtue of its mostly objective
approach and highly accurate use of reference material, Gibbon’s work was adopted as a model for the
methodologies of 19th and 20th century historians.(Summary from Wikipedia)
