Edward Gibbon Poradie kníh
Edward Gibbon bol anglický historik, ktorý sa preslávil svojím monumentálnym dielom „Dejiny úpadku a pádu Rímskej ríše“. Táto rozsiahla práca, publikovaná v niekoľkých zväzkoch, je cenená pre svoju prepracovanú a ironickú prózu, starostlivé využitie primárnych zdrojov a odvážnu kritiku organizovaného náboženstva. Gibbonova schopnosť analyzovať minulé udalosti s nadčasovou perspektívou a jeho charakteristický štýl z neho robia kľúčovú postavu v historiografii, ktorej vplyv na literárne a historické bádanie pretrváva dodnes.
