A leading writer of the Victorian era he exerted a profound influence on 19th-century art literature and philosophy. Born of peasant parents in Ecclefechan Dumfriesshire 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 Encyclopædia 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 183334. 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 from On Heroes 1841 to History of Frederick the Great 185865 and beyond 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's corpus spans the genres of history the critical essay social commentary biography fiction and poetry. His innovative writing style known as Carlylese greatly influenced Victorian literature and anticipated techniques of postmodern literature. While not adhering to any formal religion he asserted the importance of belief and developed his own philosophy of religion. He preached "Natural Supernaturalism" the idea that all things are "Clothes" which at once reveal and conceal the divine that "a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one" and that duty work and silence are essential. He postulated the Great Man theory a philosophy of history which contends that history is shaped by exceptional individuals. He viewed history as a "Prophetic Manuscript" that progresses on a cyclical basis analogous to the phoenix and the seasons. Raising the "Condition-of-England Question" to address the impact of the Industrial Revolution his political philosophy is characterised by medievalism advocating a "noble Chivalry of Work" led by "Captains of Industry". He attacked utilitarianism as mere atheism and egoism criticised laissez-faire political economy as the "Dismal Science" and rebuked "big black Democracy" while championing "Heroarchy Government of Heroes". 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. Posthumously his reputation suffered as publications by his friend and disciple James Anthony Froude provoked controversy about Carlyle's personal life particularly his marriage to Jane Welsh Carlyle. His reputation further declined in the 20th century as the onsets of World War I and World War II brought forth accusations that he was a progenitor of both Prussianism and fascism. Since the 1950s extensive scholarship in the field of Carlyle Studies has improved his standing and he is now recognized as "one of the enduring monuments of our literature who quite simply cannot be spared."
