Yes, my thanks as well. Definitely worth printing out. Though given the nature of human beings, I doubt that we've seen 'the last of history's empires'!
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
Thanks for this -- it's quite fascinating.
