German Romance: specimens of its chief authors; with biographical and critical notices.

1827rif. 161555Edinburgh: William Tait and Charles Tait 1827. Establishing German romantic literature in Britain First edition of Carlyle's translation "one of the key books in the transmission of the German Romantics to England" Wolff. Carlyle's collection of previously untranslated German Romantic novellas "was intended to build on the success of Thomas Carlyle's translation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship 1824 and to continue his efforts to promote German culture as a necessary alternative to British empiricism. Carlyle sought to separate the cream of German avant-garde literature from the works of inferior writers that had flooded the literary marketplace in Britain and produced a distorted image of German culture. And he wished to establish German literature as an alternative source of cultural leadership for his age. In addition to garnering high praise for its editor and translator these translations announced Carlyle's ambition to serve as an agent of cultural interaction. A deeply influential episode in the development of Carlyle's literary style and aesthetic sensibility Carlyle's engagement with Hoffmann Tieck and Jean Paul can be seen in the stylistic innovations of such works as Sartor Resartus The French Revolution and Frederick the Great. German Romance also laid the groundwork for Carlyle's extraordinary burst of critical activity during the late 1820s. Carlyle's translations of the German Romantics remained the standard well into the twentieth century and many have never been superseded" Cumming p. 189. 4 vols bound in 2 octavo 185 x 114 mm. Bound without terminal blank in vol. III else complete with half-titles and 4 engraved frontispieces.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION: A HISTORY. IN THREE VOLUMES.

1837rif. 56314London: James Fraser 1837. First Edition in Original Condition The first edition of Carlyle's classic study of the French Revolution complete with all half titles and the integral advertisement leaf in the second volume in its original contemporary binding and with all edges untrimmed. Carlyle arranged his work in three parts the first subtitled "The Bastille" the second part "The Constitution" and the final part "The Guillotine." "Of the three great political upheavals which have altered the face of the earth - the American French and Russian Revolutions - only the French has stimulated literary masterpieces which in turn have made their impact direct and indirect upon millions of readers who would have and have left unread the productions of dispassionate scholarship. They are Carlyle's book and the 'History of the French Revolution' by Michelet. Carlyle wrote his French Revolution as a secular 'tract for the times' and as a warning for his compatriots of the frightful consequences of materialism utilitarianism and democracy. Scottish puritanism and German romanticism were his lodestars; 'History is the essence of innumerable biographies' was his historical creed. The result is not a work of scholarship but a prose epic teeming with colorful scenes of dramatic events and imaginative portraits of the leading revolutionaries. The book at once captured the English-speaking world and has outside France moulded popular conceptions of the French Revolution down to the present day" - PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN.
