About this Item

The combination of two works by the historian and philosopher Thomas Carlyle. Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh in Three Books is a novel purporting to be commentary on the thoughts and early life of a German philosopher, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh (which translates as 'God-born Devil's-dung'). The work is said to be a parody of Hegel and of German Idealism. On Heroes, Hero-Worship, & the Heroic in History is a collection of six lectures given in May 1840 about prominent figures in history, laying out the importance of heroic leadership. These works are written by Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish essayist, historian, and philosopher who became a leading writer of the Victorian era and exerted a profound influence on 19th-century art, literature and philosophy. In the original brown cloth binding with marbled endpapers and pastedowns. Externally, smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. The odd mark to the board and two small tears to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Contemporary ink inscription to front endpapers. Very Good. Seller Inventory # 843T79
