Carlyle went on to publish such noted works as Life of Schiller, Sartor Resartuswhich 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.
