Edward Gibbon

    27 avril 1737 – 16 janvier 1794

    Edward Gibbon fut un historien anglais célèbre pour son œuvre monumentale, "Histoire de la décadence et de la chute de l'Empire romain". Cet ouvrage exhaustif, publié en plusieurs volumes, est loué pour sa prose sophistiquée et ironique, son utilisation méticuleuse de sources primaires et sa critique audacieuse de la religion organisée. La capacité de Gibbon à disséquer les événements passés avec une perspective intemporelle et son style distinctif cimentent son statut de figure clé de l'historiographie, dont l'influence sur l'érudition littéraire et historique perdure.
