Description:Thomas Hodgkin's The Barbarian Invasions of the Roman Empire was first published under the title: Italy and her Invaders, in six volumes, by The Clarendon Press, between 1880-1899.From the General Introduction from volume I:In 1880 Thomas Hodgkin published the first edition of the first two volumes of a projected eight-volume history of the invasions of Italy in the late Roman and early medieval periods. A full nineteen years later, with the appearance of volumes VII and VIII in 1899, he completed his magnum opus, having taken the story from the time of the emperor Valentinian I (AD 364-375) down to the Frankish invasions of the late eighth century and the death of Charlemagne in 814. In between had appeared two other two-volume sets (volumes III and IV in 1892, and V and VI in 1895), along with revised editions of volumes I and II in 1892 and of III and IV in 1896. In its final form, The Barbarian Invasions of the Roman Empire amounted to nearly five thousand pages of text (including indexes), or well over a million words. Hodgkin had manufactured a great historical classic, a worthy successor to, and in some important ways an advance upon, the work of Edward Gibbon. But Hodgkin was not a professional historian, nor even a professional aithor. How did a Quaker banker, who took his responsibilities as a recognised minister of his faith extremely seriously, come to write one of the great masterpieces of nineteenth-century British historiography?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
