Edward Gibbon, Historian of the Roman Empire Part I: The Man and His Book by Eugene Y. C. Ho, Hong Kong Tragic News: Mr. Ho died in July 1997, at the age of 37, after an accident in his home. See his home page at the Karl Popper web site. The following is in Eugene's own words: Author's Note: Originally published in Issue 30 (Apr - Jun 1994) of the Hong Kong intellectual journal Intellectus, the following essay the first of a two-part instalment was written to commemorate the bicentennial of the death of Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), author of A History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Click here for the second instalment . Readers who wish to read some specimens of Gibbon's masterpiece may visit either Dr. Zimmermann's web page ( The "Best of" Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ) or mine ( Passages from Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire "Good historians," wrote Horace Walpole, "are the most scarce of all writers, and no wonder! A good style is not very common; thorough information is still rare; and if these meet, what a chance that impartiality should be added to them!" The English historian Edward Gibbon, who died 200 years ago, did not quite meet the last test, but neither did his Roman predecessor Tacitus, who alone can stand with him among the world's supreme historians. The Man Gibbon was born at Putney, Surrey, on 27th April, 1737, according to the Julian calendar, which England was still using then. When the Gregorian calendar was finally adopted in 1752, he celebrated his birthday on 8th May. Born into a family of rather good fortune, he was the oldest son of Edward Gibbon Sr. and Judith Porten, who died in 1747 of her seventh pregnancy. Apart from losing his mother at a tender age, Gibbon also witnessed the successive deaths of his siblings, for it was then common for children not to survive their infancy.

49. EDWARD GIBBON - LoveToKnow Article On EDWARD GIBBON Gibbon, Edward (17371794), English historian, was descended, he tells us in.his autobiography, from a Kentish family of considerable antiquity; http://50.1911encyclopedia.org/G/GI/GIBBON_EDWARD.htm

EDWARD GIBBON GIBBON, EDWARD In his ninth year (1746), during a lucid interval of comparative health, he was sent to a school at Kingston-uponThames; but his former infirmities soon returned, and his progress, by his own confession, was slow and unsatisfactory. My timid reserve was astonished by the crowd and tumult of the school; the want of strength and activity disqualified me for the sports of the play-field. . . . By the common methods of discipline, at the expense of many tears and some blood, I purchased the knowledge of the Latin syntax, but manifestly, in his own opinion, the Arabian Nights, Popes Homer, and Drydens Virgil, eagerly read, had at this period exercised a much more powerful influence on his intellectual development than Phaedrus and Cornelius Nepos, painfully construed and darkly understood. respects was much in need of such elevation will be doubted by none but the hopelessly cynical; and probably there are few readers who can peruse the paragraph in which Gibbon approaches the delicate subject of his early love without discerning in it a pathos much deeper than that of which the writer was himself aware. During the remainder of his residence at Lausanne he had good reason to indulge his dream of felicity ; but on his return to England, I soon discovered that my father would not hear of this strange alliance, and that without his consent I was myself destitute and helpless. After a painful struggle I yielded to my fate; I sighed as a lover, I obeyed as a son; my wound was insensibly healed by time, absence, and the habits of a new life.

Edward Gibbon was born May 8, 1737, in Putney. A sickly child, he had tutors and spent two brief intervals at school, but he owed most of his early education to his voracious reading. In April 1752 he was sent to Oxford, where he learned little. In his summer vacation he began his first book, a chronological inquiry called The Age of Sesostris

Male impersonators History. Christian literature, Early History and criticism. Abstract: Early Christian legends of monastic women disguised as men have recently been the object of psychological, literary, sociohistorical, anthropological, and theological study. In this article, I will raise new questions about these legends from the perspective of the poststructuralist theory of intertextuality. What are the cultural "texts" that these legends "play upon"? What does this intertextuality tell us about how such legends participated in late antique cultural discourse on gender and the female body? Here, I examine five cultural "texts" reworked in the legends: 1) the lives of earlier transvestite saints like St. Thecla; 2) the Life of St. Antony
