Thomas Carlyle

Essayist and historian

‘An immense talker, as extraordinary in his conversation as in his writing’ in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Carlyle was a singular figure in English letters. An historian of the French Revolution, he was also an essayist of blazing intensity, dazzling musicality, prodigious imagination and moral persuasion, an epochal figure in Victorian Europe.
