O autoru
Edward Gibbon (1737–1794) was a preeminent English historian, writer, and Member of Parliament, best known for his opus 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire', a monumental work that charted the trajectories of Roman civilization from the height of its power to the fall of Byzantium. Born in Putney, Surrey, Gibbon was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, and later spent time in Lausanne, Switzerland, which profoundly influenced his intellectual development. Gibbon's narrative history is distinguished by its extensive use of primary source materials, a critical approach to historical evidence, and a sophisticated understanding of the forces shaping historical events. His writing style combines irony and wit with a command of historical detail, contributing to his lasting reputation as one of the most important historians writing in English. Gibbon's 'The Collected Works,' which feature his seminal six-volume history, are a testament to his enduring scholarship. They reflect his abiding concern with the interplay of religion, politics, and society. Despite criticism over the years—particularly with regard to his views on Christianity—Gibbon's historiography has had a lasting impact on the study of the ancient world and on the development of historical methodology.
