Product Description
Six essays by Thomas Carlyle, published in 1841 and based on a series of lectures he delivered in 1840. The lectures, which glorified great men throughout history, were enormously popular. In the essays he discusses different types of heros and offers examples of each type, including divinities (pagan myths), prophets (Muhammad), poets (Dante and William Shakespeare), priests (Martin Luther and John Knox), men of letters (Samuel Johnson and Jean-Jacques Rousseau), and rulers (Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon). --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
