Thomas Carlyle (1795 1881) was one of the most influential authors
of the nineteenth century. His satirical essays and perceptive
historical biographies caused him to be regarded for much of the
Victorian period as a literary genius and eminent social
philosopher. These volumes, first published in 1884, form the
second part of Carlyle's official biography, describing his life
and literary work after his move to London in 1834. Carlyle's fame
and scholarly reputation were firmly established during this period
of his life. Written by his close friend James Anthony Froude (1818
1894), this candid and controversial biography describes in vivid
detail the effect of Carlyle's fame on his literary work, and on
his relationship with his wife and close friends. This revealing
work broke traditional Victorian biographical conventions, and is
considered a classic for its critical analysis of Carlyle's actions
and character. Volume 2 covers the years 1850 1881.
