THOMAS
CARLYLE
A Biography
By FRED KAPLAN.
"By his own patient documentation of Carlyle's
development, Kaplan illuminates some of [the] paradoxes that strain
our moral comprehension. The gulf dividing us from the Victorians
... is no less profound, but the individual humanity of Carlyle's
dour, embattled genius grows closer."-Donald Thomas,
The New
York Times Book Review.
