The Norman and Charlotte Strouse edition of the writings of Thomas Carlyle 5
Inhalt:
"In his literary reviews and his important speculative essay "Biography," Thomas Carlyle worked out the aesthetic principles that would underwrite his major works from Sartor Resartus to the "Inaugural Address." In his essays on Baillie, Burns, and Scott, he sought to situate himself in relation to Scottish literary traditions; in essays on Diderot and Voltaire, he articulated a long-standing ambivalence toward French culture and the enlightenment; and in his essay on Johnson he portrayed a "Hero as Man of Letters" that would later make On Heroes, Hero-worship, and the Heroic in History a defining expression of Victorian thought"--
