Gibbon's Enlightenment era perspective tends to occlude the accuracy of historical account (as is often the case). What's funny is just how much critical flack this book has received for being inaccurate. In historical context, it may have something to do with Gibbon's ostensibly atheistic views regarding the rise of Christianity that followed the fall of the Roman Empire. He writes about religious zeal with the same indignant revulsion as Freud or Darwin later would. Gibbon does provide a mellifluous and engaging narrative, albeit an astonishingly long one. It's a masterpiece, and if one has the time a worthwhile read. For anyone interested in studies of world civilization, this is an essential text. Just writing this review makes me want to read Arnold Toynbee, and intensifies my admiration for the high standard of British historical studies that we have seen over the past few centuries.
