Latter-Day Pamphlets

Autor Thomas Carlyle
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This is the complete series of "pamphlets" published by Thomas Carlyle in 1850. The most popular essay in the series is titled "Husdon's Statue" and contains the heart of Carlyle's critique of democratic principles and what he saw as the corrosive effects of capitalist economics. Most collections available today contain only the first five: The Present Time, Model Prisions, Downing Street, The New Downing Street, and Stump-Orator. This edition, however, contains an additional three in order to complete the series: Parliaments, Hudson's Statue, and Jesuitism. These essays, due to their controversial nature, are sometimes considered the negative turning-point in Carlyle's career due to the fact that few found his messages acceptable. Nonetheless, this book represents to core of his vehement attack on the social problems of his day.

Notă biografică

Thomas Carlyle was a Scottish essayist, historian, and philosopher who lived from 4 December 1795 to 5 February 1881. Carlyle learned to read from his mother, and arithmetic from his father. Carlyle travelled 100 miles from his home in November 1809, when he was about 14 years old, to attend the University of Edinburgh. John Leslie taught him mathematics, and John Playfair taught him science. He finished his studies in the arts in 1813 and enrolled in a theology study. In addition to founding the London Library, he made a substantial contribution to the National Portrait Galleries' establishment. Victorian literature was significantly affected by Carlyle's inventive writing style. He proposed the Great Man theory, a historical theory that holds that notable people have affected history. His "noble Chivalry of Work" political theory is characterised by medievalism. Carlyle heard abruptly of his wife's unexpected death while still in Scotland. He wrote memoirs of William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, Irving, and Jeffrey.His niece Mary, who served as his amanuensis, overheard him say his last words: "So this is Death-well."
