Synopsis

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
