Thomas Carlyle (1795 1881) was one of the most influential authors
of the nineteenth century. Eagerly studied at the highest level of
intellectual society, 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. After graduating from Edinburgh University in 1814, he
published his first scholarly work on German literature in 1824,
before finding literary success with his ground-breaking history of
the French Revolution in 1837. After falling from favour during the
first part of the twentieth century, his work has more recently
become the subject of scholarly re-examination. His introduction of
German literature and philosophy into the British intellectual
milieu profoundly influenced later philosophical ideas and literary
studies. These volumes are reproduced from the 1896 Centenary
Edition of his collected works. Volume 1 contains his satirical
philosophical essay Sartor Resartus.
