RARE FIRST EDITION OF ALL VOLUMES OF THIS FORMIDABLE BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS CARLYLE. 'Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 the British essayist historian and philosopher from the Scottish Lowlands was a leading writer of the Victorian era he exerted a profound influence on 19th-century art literature and philosophy. Born in Ecclefechan Dumfriesshire Scotland Carlyle attended the University of Edinburgh where he excelled in mathematics inventing 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 Encyclopćdia and working as a translator. He found initial success as a disseminator of German literature then little-known to English readers through his translations his Life of Friedrich Schiller 1825 and his review essays for various journals. His first major work was a novel entitled Sartor Resartus 1833–34. After relocating to London he became famous with his French Revolution 1837 which prompted the collection and reissue of his essays as Miscellanies. Each of his subsequent works including On Heroes 1841 Past and Present 1843 Cromwell's Letters 1845 Latter-Day Pamphlets 1850 and History of Frederick the Great 1858–65 were highly regarded throughout Europe and North America. He founded the London Library contributed significantly to the creation of the National Portrait Galleries in London and Scotland was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University in 1865 and received the Pour le Mérite in 1874 among other honours. Carlyle occupied a central position in Victorian culture being considered not only in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson the "undoubted head of English letters" but a "secular prophet". Carlyle is now recognised as "one of the enduring monuments of our literature who quite simply cannot be spared." Carlyle was a renowned conversationalist. Ralph Waldo Emerson described him as "an immense talker as extraordinary in his conversation as in his writing—I think even more so." Charles Darwin considered him "the most worth listening to of any man I know." William Lecky noted his "singularly musical voice" which "quite took away anything grotesque in the very strong Scotch accent" and "gave it a softening or charm". Henry Fielding Dickens recollected that he was "gifted with a high sense of humour and when he laughed he did so heartily throwing his head back and letting himself go." Thomas Wentworth Higginson remembered his "broad honest human laugh" one that "cleared the air like thunder and left the atmosphere sweet." Lady Eastlake called it "the best laugh I ever heard". Charles Eliot Norton wrote that Carlyle's "essential nature was solitary in its strength its sincerity its tenderness its nobility. He was nearer Dante than any other man." Frederic Harrison similarly observed that "Carlyle walked about London like Dante in the streets of Verona gnawing his own heart and dreaming dreams of Inferno. To both the passers-by might have said See! there goes the man who has seen hell". Higginson rather felt that Jean Paul's humorous character Siebenkäs "came nearer to the actual Carlyle than most of the grave portraitures yet executed" for like Siebenkäs Carlyle was "a satirical improvisatore". Emerson saw Carlyle as "not mainly a scholar" but "a practical Scotchman such as you would find in any saddler's or iron-dealer's shop and then only accidentally and by a surprising addition the admirable scholar and writer he is." Carlyle's two most important followers were Emerson and Ruskin. In the 19th century Emerson was often thought of as "the American Carlyle" and he described himself in 1870 as "Lieutenant" to Carlyle's "General in Chief". Ruskin publicly acknowledged that Carlyle was the author to whom he "owed more than to any other living writer" and would frequently refer to him as his "master" writing after Carlyle's death that he was "throwing myself now into the mere fulfilment of Carlyle's work".' wiki Longmans, Green and Co. hardcover

Works of Thomas Carlyle

1866ref. SET44-C-1London : Chapman and Hall 1866-1869. Cloth. Good. 7.5" by 5". None. A uniformly bound collection of the works of Thomas Carlyle. Carlyle 4 December 1795 5 February 1881 was a Scottish philosopher satirical writer essayist historian and teacher during the Victorian era. His combination of a religious temperament with loss of faith in traditional Christianity made Carlyle's work appealing to many Victorians who were grappling with scientific and political changes that threatened the traditional social order. He brought a trenchant style to his social and political criticism and a complex literary style to his works. His works themselves were incredibly diverse a fact testified to in this set which features fiction histories lectures essays biographies translations and satires. This collection ordered here in a rough chronology contains: - Sartor Resartus and Lectures on Heroes. - The French Revolution in two volumes. - Chartism and Past and Present. - Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches: With Elucidations in two volumes. - Latter-Day Pamphlets. - Two Biographies: Friedrich Schiller; John Sterling. - History of Friedrich II of Prussia called Frederick the Great in seven volumes. - Translations from the German in two volumes. - Miscellaneous Essays in four volumes. Notable inclusions amongst these titles are Sartor Resartus - Carlyle's first major work and an ambitious attempt to create a new kind of book - The French Revolution - a similarly momentous work that 'was filled with a passion hitherto unknown in historical writing'- and Frederick the Great Carlyle's last major work. The fourth volume of the latter contains several attractive folding map plates. Bound by W. Bone & Son. With 21 volumes in total.
