About this book
The Roman and the Teuton is the 1864 lecture series Charles Kingsley (1819-1875) delivered as Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge. The novelist of Westward Ho! tells the collision of the dying Roman Empire with the Germanic tribes as grand moral drama, opening with his famous fable of the forest children, and frankly siding with Teutonic vigour against Roman decadence. Professional historians mauled the lectures then and since, but they remain vivid Victorian reading and a document of how that age imagined the fall of Rome.
