Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), Scottish essayist, historian, cultural
critic, and leading man of English letters during the Victorian
era, published "Past and Present, "one of his most influential
works, in 1843. Written as a response to the economic crisis of the
1840s--closure of factories, loss of jobs, the growth of slums in
industrial centers, the starving poor--"Past and Present "aimed to
lead readers toward a "conversion experience" in order to stimulate
social reform. In this work, Carlyle provides a trenchant
articulation of the political, social, religious, and economic
climate of the mid-nineteenth century and a prophetic vision of the
future.
This volume, the fourth of the eight-volume Strouse Edition,
includes an informative historical introduction and illustrations,
along with complete notes and scholarly apparatus, and is the
definitive modern scholarly edition.
