Edward Gibbon and the Decline of Rome by Joseph Ward Swain is a comprehensive study of the life and work of historian Edward Gibbon, and his seminal work The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The book explores Gibbon's upbringing and education, his travels throughout Europe, and his development as a historian. It also delves into the political and social context of the time in which Gibbon lived and wrote, and the impact of his work on subsequent generations of scholars. Swain examines the themes and arguments of The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and analyzes its reception and influence in the centuries since its publication. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Rome, the Enlightenment period, or the development of historical scholarship.Contained In The January, 1940 South Atlantic Quarterly, Vol. 39, No. 1.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
