author:  Edward Gibbon 
description: Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), English historian. It was on a visit to Rome that he conceived the idea of his magnificent and panoramic history <i>The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire</i> (6 vol., 177688) which won immediate acclaim, despite some harsh criticism. Gibbon himself was assured of the greatness of his work, which is, indeed, one of the most-read historical works of modern times.
