Sartor Resartus 1833–34 and On Heroes Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History 1841 are major 19th-century works by Thomas Carlyle exploring philosophy social critique and historical leadership . Sartor Resartus uses a satirical "Philosophy of Clothes" to discuss existence while On Heroes presents a six-lecture series championing the "Great Man" theory. Together they represent a move away from 18th-century rationalism toward a Romantic transcendentalist and ultimately a "reactionary" worldview that emphasized spiritual organic and authoritarian leadership over mechanical democratic or utilitarian progress. On Heroes Hero Worship and the Heroic in History is a timeless masterpiece by Thomas Carlyle a renowned Scottish historian philosopher and writer. The book which is a series of six lectures by Thomas Carlyle was published in 1841 and to date it remains a classic exploration of the concept of heroism and its place in human history. Carlyle's work is a captivating analysis through a series of six essays on how heroes have influenced history. He argues heroic figures have played a critical role in shaping human events. Through his insightful analysis Carlyle provides readers with a unique perspective on the power of heroism and its ability to inspire and transform societies. In this thought-provoking book Carlyle explores the lives of several historical figures. They include Odin Luther Cromwell and Napoleon. He shows how their heroic actions and ideals have had a lasting impact on society. Carlyle's vivid descriptions and passionate prose make this a fascinating read for anyone interested in history philosophy or human nature. He also delves into the psychological and spiritual aspects of hero worship and its role in shaping human identity and culture. Thomas Carlyle 4 December 1795 – 5 February 1881 was a Scottish essayist historian and philosopher. Known as the "sage of Chelsea" his writings strongly influenced the intellectual and artistic culture of the Victorian era. Carlyle was born in Ecclefechan a village in Dumfriesshire Scotland. He attended the University of Edinburgh where he excelled in mathematics and invented the Carlyle circle. After finishing the arts course he prepared to become a minister in the Burgher Church while working as a schoolmaster. He quit these and several other endeavours before settling on literature writing for the Edinburgh Encyclopædia and working as a translator. He initially gained prominence in English-language literary circles for his extensive writing on German Romantic literature and philosophy. These themes were explored in his first major work a semi-autobiographical philosophical novel entitled Sartor Resartus 1833–34. Carlyle eventually relocated to London where he published The French Revolution: A History 1837. Its popular success made him a celebrity prompting the collection and reissue of his earlier essays under the title of Miscellanies . His subsequent works were highly regarded throughout Europe and North America including On Heroes 1841 Past and Present 1843 Cromwell's Letters 1845 Latter-Day Pamphlets 1850 and Frederick the Great 1858–65. He founded the London Library helped to establish the National Portrait Galleries in London and in Edinburgh became Lord Rector of the University of Edinburgh in 1865 and received the Pour le Mérite in 1874 amongst other honours. Carlyle occupied a central position in Victorian culture being considered the "undoubted head of English letters" and a "secular prophet". Posthumously a series of publications by his friend James Anthony Froude damaged Carlyle's reputation provoking controversy about his personal life and his marriage to Jane Welsh Carlyle in particular. His reputation further declined in the aftermaths of the First World War and the Second World War when his philosophy was seen as a precursor of both Prussianism and fascism. Growing scholarship in the field of Carlyle studies since the 1950s has improved his standing and although little-read today he is yet recognised as "one of the enduring monuments of English literature".</p> Chapman & Hall. hardcover
1871FB9448 /11<p>Brown cloth binding with gilt and black title on the spine and front board. We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available </p><p>The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh in Three Books. This is a rare fair to good copy providing Carlyle's quality revisions to his original draft. All in all a very worthwhile edition though a difficult to read for those with a little understanding of Hegel. In the publisher's original brick red cloth covered boards blocked and lettered. The work is in part a parody of Hegel and of German Idealism more generally Carlyle had difficulty finding a publisher for the novel and began composing it as an article in October 1831 in Fraser's serialised Magazine in 1833-1834. The text would first appear in book form in Boston in 1836 its publication arranged by Ralph Waldo Emerson who much admired the book and also Carlyle. Emerson's savvy dealing with the overseas publishers would ensure Carlyle received high compensation which the novel did not attain in Britain which was first published in London in 1838. Reviews: Written by Carlyle in the 1830's this is a slightly odd novel that sort of straddles several genres. The central metaphor is clothes: the old ones tattered and needing to be torn off and replaced with new ones a startlingly radical thing to say at a time of national disturbance and civil strife and the need for people to trust tailors learn to distinguish what clothes are important and what not metaphors for civil society reorganizing itself at a time of strife and behind it all the children's story of the emperor's new clothes - which only the outsiderthe child naif could bring himself to identify properly - worthless - while custom and fear kept others in thrall.It also anticipates many ideas about language and structure and narrative that were to come in the 20th century with the likes of Joyce and Woolfe. It gets five stars for being an important book exceedingly clever and many many years ahead of its time. I stumbled on this outstanding work and have devoured it in one long long read. It could have been written only yesterday in its commentary on the human condition. Carlyle skewers and roasts the establishment the church in its guises and fashion. Yet he displays a great empathy for the have-nots and withering contempt for the wealthy particularly inherited wealth. Here is an author sure footed at the top of his game. He now joins my relatively short list of authors such as JP Donleavy RabelaisPynchon Spike Milligan et al. I RECOMMEND that it be read whilst dressed in your red leather one piece and ocelot dressing gown.</p><p><strong>Thomas Carlyle</strong> 4 December 1795 – 5 February 1881 was a Scottish essayist historian and philosopher.
