Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Thomas Carlyle was a Victorian-era Scottish author, philosopher, and historian. Raised by a strict Calvinist family, Carlyle abandoned his career with the clergy in 1821 after losing his faith, focusing instead on writing. Carlyle went on to publish such noted works as Life of Schiller, Sartor Resartus which was inspired by his crisis of faith, and The French Revolution, and became one of the most prominent writers of his day. Carlyle s later works included Heroes and Hero-Worship and Frederick the Great. Carlyle passed away in 1881.

Deliciously complex, witty, and wordy!

This book was a source of inspiration to Frederick Law Olmsted, so I read it to better understand his genius. I wasn't disappointed, as Carlyle and Olmsted both bring a bigger and broader perspective on being in this world than anyone else I've read. Wikipedia describes Sartor Resartus as a "19th Century comic novel" and a philosophical treatise. It is written from the perspective of an editor writing an extensive "summary" of a manuscript on the Philosophy of Clothes written by a Professor of Things in General. Subsequent reviews after the "book" was published are included at the end. I loved the old style of writing and the many words I had to look up (e.g., "corascations," "anidiluvian," "drossy"), although at times, this made for a tough read. I am neither a philosopher nor scholar, and I'm not sure if you can love a book you don't always understand, but I had a great time finding my way through Sartor Resartus. Its wit provides many LOL moments. One of the "reviewers" suggested you could read the sentences in the Professor's book, "either backwards or forwards, for it is equally intelligible either way." I know I will re-read this book in the future, but will still need to do so forwards to back. Reading the Wikipedia summary of Sartor Resartus before getting started with this book gave me a useful orientation. My favorite quotation for the book is: "Thought without Reverence is barren, perhaps poisonous . . . " Enjoy!

Way too Small Font, completely unreadable

Unfortunately I was not able to take in Carlyle's prose very well because I was thinking about what this attempt is doing to my eyesight and do I have a magnifying glass somewhere? On the other hand, it gave me an appreciation for copyright because a copyright holder would not allow their books to be published this abysmally.

I only got it to argue a point in one of my papers. However, I was surprised at the intricacies of the narrative. Carlyle has great arguments. Really worthwhile read.

A giant of the Victorian Age

I bought this to see if Moslems would hate his view of The Prophet Mahomet as hero. I don't know if they would, but for his time he took as fair minded a view as any.

Criticise Thomas Carlyle?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

I dare not. If you want to know about historical figures and Carlyle has written of them, you have a good basis for your research. He has no hidden agenda and is unprejudiced in outlook. The four would be five stars if he were not so labouring sometimes in making his point. This is probably a reflection on me for wanting instant information, rather than absorbing the life story properly.
