So besides Gibbon and Carlyle what are some other history

Hume

John Julius Norwich isn't much of a historian imo but he's got a penchant for cracking wise and generally being a banter merchant. He's a very witty writer, though a mediocre historian. His books are good as long as you supplement them with something more academic.

In terms of proper historians, Kathleen Hughes was also a poet in addition to her historical work and it really shows, she writes beautifully. Elizabeth Longford is the same, though some of her work is a bit outdated now. Her biography of the Duke of Wellington, Years of the Sword, is riddled with inaccuracies, though it's a very good read.

The history of the conquest of Peru and the history of the conquest of Mexico by William Prescott. They are also still good history books.

Almost anything by John Keegan, particularly The Face of Battle and Six Armies at Normandy. The latter begins with an essay about his experience as an evacuee in the British countryside.

carlyle was good precisely because he used prose to uncover reactionary ontology and ethnics which was embedded into social systems, and being taken for granted during the enlightenment. but he didn't write or quote it for its own sake.
