"In direct reaction to Goffart's argument of accomodation/transition, Ward-Perkins set out to defend the original view of the violent fall of the Roman empire, and the severe decline of civilization since. Influenced by his own classical upbringing, Ward-Perkins makes some condierable leaps in his historical study."
"The author makes an archeological and economic case that the fall of the Roman empire in the West led to a precipitous decline in living standards there. Contra modern medievalists, there was a sharp discontinuity between late antiquity and the early medieval period. I docked one star because the writing is a bit choppy, but the material is well-organized and fascinating."
"Bryan Ward-Perkins published The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization in 2005. Countering the trend to minimize the effects of the barbarian invasions, initiated by Peter Brown, Ward-Perkins uses material evidence (archaeological, atmospheric, etc.) to support his claim that the fall of Rome was, indeed, a cataclysmic event that shattered the old world and initiated completely new forms of civilization for Europe. Those interested in economics will find his treatment of how Rome's specialized, sophisticated trade chillingly applicable to the modern world of consumerism. Ward-Perkins shows what might happen when Adam Smith's proverbial pin-makers find their world has grown too dangerous to operate long-distance trade."
