　　In the greatest work of history in the English language,

Edward Gibbon compresses thirteen turbulent centuries into a

gripping epic narrative. It is history in the grand

eighteenth-century manner, a well-researched drama charged with

insight, irony, and incisive character analysis. In elegant prose,

Gibbon presents both the broad pattern of events and the

significant revealing detail. He delves into religion, politics,

sexuality, and social mores with equal authority and aplomb. While

subsequent research revealed minor factual errors about the early

Empire, Gibbon's bold vision, witty de*ions of a vast cast of

characters, and readiness to display his own beliefs and prejudices

result in an astonishing work of history and literature, at once

powerfully intelligent and enormously entertaining.

Based on David Womersley's definitive three-volume Penguin

Classics edition of The Decline and Fall of the Roman

Empire, this abridgement contains complete chapters from all

three volumes, linked by extended bridging passages, vividly

capture the style, the argument, and the architecture of the whole

work.
