"In his 1840 lectures on heroes, Thomas Carlyle, Victorian essayist and social critic, championed the importance of the individual in history. Published the following year and eventually translated into fifteen languages, this imaginative work of history, comparative religion, and literature is the most influential statement of a man who came to be thought of as a secular prophet and the "undoubted head of English letters" (Emerson). His vivid portraits of Muhammad, Dante, Luther, Napoleon-just a few of the individuals Carlyle celebrated for changing the course of world history-made On Heroes a challenge to the anonymous social forces threatening to control life during the Industrial Revolution."

FIRST EDITION. SIX LECTURES BY THE RENOWNED SCOTTISH PHILOSOPHER. Classic discussion of the need for heroic leadership. 'The book was based on a course of lectures Carlyle had given. The French Revolution: A History had brought Carlyle recognition, but little money, so friends organized courses of public lectures, drumming up an audience and selling one guinea tickets. Though Carlyle disliked lecturing, he discovered a facility for it; more importantly, it brought in much-needed income. Between 1837 and 1840, Carlyle delivered four such courses of lectures, the final of which was on "Heroes". His lecture notes were transformed into the book, with the effects of the spoken discourse still discernible in the prose.' Rines For Carlyle, the hero was somewhat similar to Aristotle's "magnanimous" man a person who flourished in the fullest sense. However, for Carlyle, unlike Aristotle, the world was filled with contradictions with which the hero had to deal. All heroes will be flawed. Their heroism lay in their creative energy in the face of these difficulties, not in their moral perfection. To sneer at such a person for their failings is the philosophy of those who seek comfort in the conventional. Carlyle called this "valetism", from the expression "no man is a hero to his valet". wiki.

The Ashburton edition of Carlye's complete works. Octavo, seventeen volumes bound in three quarter morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raise bands, top edge gilt with others uncut, marbled endpapers, frontispiece portrait of Carlyle to volume one. In very good condition. Scottish historian, satirical writer, essayist, translator, and philosopher Thomas Carlyle wrote on a variety of subjects. In his book On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History (1841), he argued that the actions of the "Great Man" play a key role in history, claiming that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men". Other major works include The French Revolution: A History(1837) and The History of Friedrich II of Prussia, Called Frederick the Great, (1858â"65). His 1837 history of The French Revolution was the inspiration for Charles Dickens' 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities, and remains popular today.
