---------

In this book, the author Carlyle's central thesis is that a hero is one who can actually see the world as it is and has the courage to act upon it.

In May, 1840, Thomas Carlyle gave a series of six lectures on Heroes in History. These lectures were subsequently published under the title On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History. In these lectures Carlyle discusses and defends his concept of the great man, or the divinely inspired, unpredictable hero.

The breadth of his examples from Odin and Mahomet (Mohammed) to Shakespeare and Dante, and Napoleon among others provides an idea of the scope of his presentation. These are not all heroes in the sense that the concept of hero, if it exists at all, is considered today.

But that is one of the best aspects of these lectures for they challenge the twenty-first century reader to think about the nature of the hero and heroism and what it might mean to worhsip a hero.

This book is a collection of six lectures given in May 1840.

1. (5 May) The Hero as Divinity. Odin. Paganism: Scandinavian Mythology

2. (8 May) The Hero as Prophet. Muhammad: Islam

3. (12 May) The Hero as Poet. Dante; Shakespeare

4. (15 May) The Hero as Priest. Luther; Reformation: Knox; Puritanism

5. (19 May) The Hero as Man of Letters. Johnson, Rousseau, Burns

6. (22 May) The Hero as King. Cromwell. Napoleon: Modern Revolutionism

Recenzii

“This new edition promises to be an excellent addition to Carlyle scholarship.  It will widen the understanding of nineteenth-century literary and political thought among students of the period and lay readers alike.”—Rosemary Ashton, University College London

“On Heroes assembles a team of distinguished and world-famous authorities. They tackle head on some of the largest questions about Carlyle’s influence and reception after the lectures and, indeed, after his death.”—Francis O’Gorman, University of Leeds
