Description History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Audiobooks by Edward Gibbon,
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, Gibbons work was adopted as a model for the methodologies of 19th and 20th century historians.
