Between Augustus and Charlemagne, Europe's whole moral imagination was rebuilt. Lecky's first volume covers the pagan empire and the conversion of Rome, tracing how Stoic ideals gave way to new ones in the ancient world's greatest transformation. Grand Victorian history of ideas, gorgeously written. The story of how the West learned a new conscience.
