A wonderful example of the art of 'pointillé'.<br/><br/>Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 was a Scottish philosopher satirical writer essayist historian and teacher. Considered one of the most important social commentators of his time he presented many lectures during his lifetime with certain acclaim in the Victorian era. One of those conferences resulted in his famous work On Heroes and Hero Worship and The Heroic in History where he explains that the key role in history lies in the actions of the "Great Man" claiming that "History is nothing but the biography of the Great Man". A respected historian his 1837 book The French Revolution: A History was the inspiration for Dickens' 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities and remains popular today. Carlyle's 1836 Sartor Resartus is considered one of the finest works of the nineteenth century.<br/><br/>Sartor Resartus meaning 'The tailor re-tailored' is an 1836 novel by Thomas Carlyle first published as a serial in 1833-34 in Fraser's Magazine. The novel purports to be a commentary on the thought and early life of a German philosopher called Diogenes Teufelsdröckh which translates as 'god-born devil-dung' author of a tome entitled "Clothes: Their Origin and Influence" but was actually a poioumenon. Teufelsdröckh's Transcendentalist musings are mulled over by a skeptical English Reviewer referred to as Editor who also provides fragmentary biographical material on the philosopher. The work is in part a parody of Hegel and of German Idealism more generally. However Teufelsdröckh is also a literary device with which Carlyle can express difficult truths.
