Sartor Resartus, and On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History
This Everyman's Library volume, introduced by W. H. Hudson, joins two of Thomas Carlyle's most influential works. Sartor Resartus, first published in 1833 and 1834, presents itself as an English editor's commentary on the philosophy of clothes of an eccentric German professor, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, and under its playful disguise it tells a story of spiritual crisis, from the Everlasting No to the Everlasting Yea. On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, lectures delivered in 1840, argues that history is shaped by great men, from Odin and Muhammad through Dante, Shakespeare, Luther, Knox and Rousseau to Cromwell and Napoleon. Both show Carlyle's fierce, idiosyncratic style. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first book is free.
