| Summary |
<Span style="line-height:1.15"> Gibbon's <span style="font-style:italic;">History is one of the great master-narratives in the Western tradition. This book examines the ways in which Gibbon uses numbers: not only as historical evidence, for informational purposes, but to persuade (and sometimes to amuse), through the creation of a narrative voice that is at once authoritative and personal. <br /> <br /> |
