Edward Gibbon, English historian
Bildnummer 12553433
| Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), English historian and writer. Gibbon was born at Putney, now part of London, and attended school at Kingston-upon-Thames and at Westminster. He went up to Magdalene College, Oxford in 1752, but left after 14 months. After a period of considerable European travel, and as serving as an MP, Gibbon started work on his most famous work, 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'. His style was one of elegantly composed prose, his use of irony, reference to primary sources and frequent criticism of organised religion. His works influenced many later writers, as diverse as Winston Churchill and Isaac Asimov. Gibbon died in January 1794, most likely from peritonitis following surgery. | |
