  J. B. Bury   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
John Bagnell Bury (16 October 1861 – 1 June 1927) was an eminent British historian, classicist, and philologist.
Bury was born and raised in County Monaghan, educated first by his parents, then at Foyle College in Londonderry and Trinity College in Dublin, where he graduated in 1882 and was made a fellow in 1885, at the age of 24.
Bury's writings, on subjects ranging from ancient Greece to the 19th-century papacy, are at once scholarly and accessible to the layman.

 Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Bury's history is indispensable to anyone who seeks to understand the connection between the barbarian migrations of the third to the ninth century and the framework of modern Europe.
Bury's description of the extent to which the "barbarians" strove to work within the empire and co-existed with remnants of Roman society are of particular interest.
According to Bury it is during the third century that the extension and heterogeneity of the Roman Empire led to a natural tendency of the parts of this huge empire to fall asunder.

 [Letter] October 16, Christ Church, Oxford (England) [to J.B.] Bury. / Arthur Hassall.
Hassall also says that the current owner of Heron Court was examined by Bury in Oxford, and he is certain that this gentleman could talk to Bury about family memories of Catherine II.
Hassall extends his regrets about missing Bury at Oxford, explaining that he could not be there for the Bodleian show.
Bury started his career in Ireland at Trinity College; he later held a professorship at the University of Cambridge.

 History of the Later Roman Empire: From the Death of Theodosius I to the Death of Justinian (Volume 1)
Bury covers all aspects of the empire during this period in adequate detail--enough to maintain a full and compelling narrative, but not too much as to drown the reader in minutiae.
The greatest weakness of this work is one that afflicts many scholars of the Anglo-American tradition up to the present day--a barely concealed animus toward the Roman Catholic Church in general and toward the Papacy in particular.
As part of his critique, he writes, "The main argument itself, although it has a definite architectural scheme, is marred by diffuseness and digressions." It seems that the irony of such a statement, contained as it is in a diffuse digression from Bury's central theme, was lost on the author.

 Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians
For its freshness and clarity, this book is highly recommended as a first approach to the study of the complex structural problems that led to the dissolution of the great Roman Empire.
This book is a collection of 15 fascinating lectures given over 100 years ago by University of Cambridge professor J. Bury concerning the invasion of the Roman Empire during the third through the sixth century by various tribes from in and around Europe.
Bury tells how the various Germanic tribes, such as the Goths, Visigoths, and Ostrogoths, concentrated in settlements along the Northern border of the empire.

 Phlit: A Newsletter on Philosophy and Literature: Socrates, J.B. Bury, etc.: 2004-9 B   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
As I read the excerpt on Socrates, I realized that Bury was an elegant stylist and a deep thinker — a writer that I had neglected for too long, one of the finest historians that the Victorian era produced.
Bury also wrote several lengthy works on the Roman Empire; he wrote about the early Empire and the later Empire, the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire.
Bury did not neglect cultural history; he began his career in the 1890s with two books on Pindar’s Odes, and in his later years he wrote two volumes of intellectual history: A History of Freedom of Thought and The Idea of Progress.

Bury then picks up the narrative again, successfully blending the sources at his disposal to give a coherent account of the Persian, Gothic, and Vandalic wars of the Justinianic reign.
Bury's romantic attachment to Greco-Roman paganism is evident throughout volume 2, though it is better concealed than in the previous volume.
This second volume of Bury's work is a good stand-alone volume about the history of the Justinian period, but really belongs with the companion first volume, which when taken together forms a comprehensive view of the Late Roman Empire to the time of its final, irrevocable split.

 The Economic History of the Western Roman Empire: The Invasion of the Western Roman Empire by Barbarian Tribes
The primary source material is a series of lectures by J.B. Bury of the University of Cambridge which were published as The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians.
Professor Bury presented a coherent view of the invasions but his work was published in 1928 and some historical items, particularly in the early background material, may have been superceded by more recent findings.
The problem, according to J.B. Bury, is that almost all of the males of the Roman Empire were unfit for hand-to-hand fighting against the barbarian enemies.
