About The Author
Edward Gibbon
Edward Gibbon (1737-94) was a giant of Enlightenment literature, born in Putney, a village then near London. He had six siblings, all of whom died in infancy. Gibbon attended Magdalen College, Oxford and was later a member of parliament in London. It was on the Grand Tour in 1763 when he first visited Rome and conceived the idea of a grand history centred on the Eternal City and its empire. It is one of the great historical masterpieces ever written.
