Excerpt from Conversations With Carlyle
Critics of these papers have recognised that Carlyle is made to use the exact phraseology he Was accustomed to employ. The conversations were, in fact, written down immediately after they took place, When his emphatic and significant language was still fresh in my memory. Readers Who knew Carlyle Will, I think, recognise the familiar cadence, and those Who did not know him Will have the means of realising his ordinary speech and method for themselves.

These papers were originally published in the Contemporary Review, chiefly For the purpose of presenting a more real, as well as a more human, picture of the philosopher of Chelsea than readers have been accustomed to of late. It has been no little gratification to me to receive letters from cultivated and thoughtful people, declaring that the conversations and correspondence, and, in some degree, the testimony of the author, had enabled them to accept anew an estimate of Carlyle which they had relinquished with pain, and to be assured that the nature and habits of the eminent man were not unworthy of his position as a teacher and leader of his age. They have incidentally served another purpose :they furnish a striking gallery of portraits, and an unique body of criticism on the writers of the century, by one of the most impressive painters of men that ever existed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rich collection of conversations, letters, and reminiscences between Thomas Carlyle, a prominent Victorian sage, and Gavan Duffy, an Irish nationalist leader. The correspondence offers unique insights into Carlyle's complex views on Ireland, its people, and its political struggles. The book provides a valuable historical record of the tumultuous period of Irish history leading up to the failed 1848 rebellion. The author delves into the depths of Carlyle's thought, exploring his perspectives on Irish nationalism, the importance of honesty and integrity, and the role of religion in society. Carlyle's strong opinions on these matters are juxtaposed with Duffy's passionate advocacy for Irish independence, creating a vibrant dialogue that sheds light on the political and social landscape of the time. Through their exchanges, the book captures the essence of Carlyle's philosophy, emphasizing the significance of hard work, truth-telling, and moral courage. It reveals Carlyle as a man of contradictionsâ"a critic of Irish nationalism yet deeply sympathetic to the plight of the Irish people.
