Henry Duff Traill (1842 1900) was a prolific journalist, satirist
and author. The son of a magistrate, he was called to the Bar in
1869 but began working as a journalist at the Yorkshire Post soon
afterwards. He contributed to several newspapers, acting as chief
political leader writer at The Daily Telegraph from 1882 to 1897
and editing The Observer for two years. He later became the editor
of Literature, holding this post until his death. Among his diverse
published works were six biographies, of which the most in-depth
was that of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Published in 1896
and drawing on personal documents provided by the Franklin family,
it provides a picture of Franklin's character and personal life,
alongside a detailed account of his career. Written fifty years
after Franklin's presumed death, this work also covers the
aftermath of his final ill-fated voyage in search of a north-west
passage.
The publication in 1798 of Lyrical Ballads, written by William
Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), is considered
to be the starting point of the Romantic movement. Published in the
first series of English Men of Letters in 1884, this biography by
H. D. Traill (1842-1900), who also wrote on Sterne for the series,
sets Coleridge's work within the context of his troubled childhood,
his travels, and the depression and financial crises that plagued
his life. The first writer to attempt a detailed account of
Coleridge's life and work - which ranged from poetry, journalism
and literary criticism to history, philosophy and theology - Traill
admits to some difficulty in tracing source material, particularly
as Coleridge's theological and philosophical writings were largely
incomplete, and remained unpublished at his death. Nonetheless he
reveals something of both the writer and also the man famously
described by Lamb as 'an Archangel a little damaged'.

Lawrence Sterne (1713-69) was an Anglican clergyman best remembered
as the author of the satirical and highly influential novel The
Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. After his
ordination in 1738, Sterne led the life of a country vicar in
Yorkshire, publishing a few satirical works before his masterpiece,
which emerged in nine volumes between 1759 and 1767. The first two
volumes were an immediate success, bringing him wealth, fame, and a
place at the heart of contemporary English literary society. This
work, published in the first series of English Men of Letters in
1882 by the journalist (and editor of Carlyle) Henry Duff Traill
(1842-1900), provides a clear and informative biography. Drawing on
Sterne's detailed letters to his daughter, Traill provides a
fascinating account of Sterne's early life and his clerical career
together with an analysis of his writing and influence upon English
literature.
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.
