About the author

Thomas Carlyle

1795–1881

A fierce and unforgettable Victorian voice, this Scottish essayist and historian wrote with urgency about heroes, revolution, work, and the moral strain of modern life. His books helped shape 19th-century debate and still stand out for their intensity and originality.
