The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle offer a window onto the lives of two of the Victorian world's most accomplished, perceptive, and unusual inhabitants. Scottish writer and historian Thomas Carlyle and his wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle, attracted to them a circle of foreign exiles, radicals, feminists, revolutionaries, and major and minor writers from across Europe and the United States. The collection is regarded as one of the finest and most comprehensive literary archives of the nineteenth century.

Review
"Volume Twenty-seven of this scrupulously edited, monumental edition brings the Carlyle letters up to 1852. About half of the letters here have not been published before ... Neurotic, complaining, self-absorbed and repetitive both Carlyles may be in their letters, but they are a pair entirely sui generis, both in their way endowed with genius, and not better observers existed of Victorian London life, from that of the richest aristocrats to that of the poorest foreign refugees."--Rosemary Ashton, Times Literary Supplement, January 14 2000
