Synopsis

The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle offer a window onto the lives of two of the Victorian world’s most accomplished, perceptive, and unusual inhabitants. Scottish writer and historian Thomas Carlyle and his wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle, attracted to them a circle of foreign exiles, radicals, feminists, revolutionaries, and major and minor writers from across Europe and the United States. The collection is regarded as one of the finest and most comprehensive literary archives of the nineteenth century.

Review

"Reviewing the "Collected Letters" is always a pleasure, so rich are they in content, so splendidly are they edited. . . . As if these wonderful letters of the Carlyles were not enough, the "Collected Letters" supplies extensive explanatory notes, so extensive that they have become the standard for, if not the envy of, the profession."
--Rodger L. Tarr, "Studies in Scottish Literature"

From the Back Cover

All the Carlyles' letters, as Thomas told his sister, represent 'an hour, ' now and then, snatched from 'the gulph, as it were by the hair of the head'; but some hours and letters have been saved.
