1795 1881 Carlyle Historian Philosopher
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Thomas Carlyle, the renowned Scottish philosopher and historian, in his late middle age. Born on December 4, 1795, Carlyle is best known for his works on history, social criticism, and literary criticism. His distinctive beard and intense gaze add to the intrigue of this portrait, taken in the year 1881. Carlyle's intellectual prowess and unique writing style earned him a significant place in the literary world. He is perhaps most famous for his six-volume "The French Revolution: A History," which offers a critical analysis of the revolution and its impact on European society. His other notable works include "Sartor Resartus," a philosophical novel, and "On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History." Despite his success as a writer, Carlyle's personal life was marked by tragedy. He was married twice, and both marriages were filled with hardships and sorrow. His first wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle, was a significant influence on his work and is often considered his muse. After her death in 1866, Carlyle went into a deep depression and stopped writing for several years. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to understanding the complexities of history and human nature. Carlyle's legacy continues to inspire scholars and readers alike, as his works remain relevant in the study of history, philosophy, and literature. This image serves as a testament to his enduring influence and the lasting impact of his ideas.
