Gibbon and the 'Watchmen of the Holy City': The Historian and his Reputation, 1776-1815
Womersley, David (, Official Fellow and Tutor in English Literature, Jesus College, Oxford)
By considering the sequence of interactions between the historian and his readership, Womersley illuminates what might be called Gibbon's experience of himself, at the same time deepening our understanding of the conditions of English authorship during the later 18th and early 19th centuries.
