- Double-weighted statement
- This book is a longer-form output: a monograph of 5 chapters and 185 pages. It is the product of approximately five years of research activity, including two years with a research fellowship. It analyses a substantial body of work: the full published and unpublished literary output of the historian Edward Gibbon. Its argument relies on the in-depth and detailed analysis of texts spanning Gibbon’s whole career as a historian and the synthesis of these into a narrative of overarching intellectual development that also illuminates the transition from Enlightenment to Romanticism.
