Original full cloth binding embossed in blind. Slight loss top of spine. Boards stained. Hardbound. Past and Presen was first published in April 1843 in England. It combines medieval history with criticism of 19th-century British society. Carlyle wrote it in seven weeks as a respite from the harassing labor of writing Cromwell. He was inspired by the recently published Chronicles of the Abbey of Saint Edmund's Bury which had been written by Jocelin of Brakelond at the close of the 12th century. This account of a medieval monastery had taken Carlyle's fancy and he drew upon it in order to contrast the monks' reverence for work and heroism with the sham leadership of his own day.
