Moral Desperado
Author: Simon Heffer
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 9780571288366
Category : Authors, Scottish
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
'A brilliant and scholarly biography of an extraordinary figure.' Lord Blake, Country Life 'A fresh, engaging, conscientious account of one of the great Victorians.' Michael Foot, London Review of Books 'A thorough and convincing account of 'the sage''. Peter Ackroyd, Times Thomas Carlyle was the most influential man of letters of his day, and his vivid account of the French Revolution remains one of the classic histories. Even George Eliot, no admirer, wrote: 'It is an idle question to ask whether his books will be read a century hence; if they were all burnt as the grandest of Suttes on his funeral pyre, it would only be like cutting down an oak after its acorns have sown a forest.' Simon Heffer draws upon previously unavailable papers to reassess a magnificent, defiant and often lonely individualist whose idiosyncratic and passionate books brought him universal fame.

Thomas and Jane Carlyle
Author: Rosemary Ashton
Publisher: Random House (UK)
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
The Carlyles lived at the heart of English life in mid-Victorian London, but both were outsiders. A largely self-educated pair from Scotland, they often took a caustic look at the society they so influenced - Thomas through his writings and both through their network of acquaintences and correspondents. Thomas would write about matters of the day, while Jane would tell tales of everything from turmoil with dust to Dickens at a party. Yet despite everything, Jane suffered, especially with Thomas Carlyles infatuation with the lion-hunting Lady Ashburton, and the tensions in their own marriage made them sensitive to ceontemporary debates about the position of women, divorce, legitamacy and prostitution. This joint biography describes their relationship with each other, from their first meeting in 1821 to Jane's death in 1866, and their relationship with the outside world.
