From the divine and prophetic (Odin and Muhammad) to the poetic (Dante and Shakespeare) to the religious (Luther and Knox) to the political (Cromwell and Napoleon), Carlyle investigates the mysterious qualities that elevate humans to cultural significance. By situating the text in the context of six essays by distinguished scholars that reevaluate both Carlyle's work and his ideas, David Sorensen and Brent Kinser argue that Carlyle's concept of heroism stresses the hero's spiritual dimension. In Carlyle's engagement with various heroic personalities, he dislodges religiosity from religion, myth from history, and truth from "quackery" as he describes the wondrous ways in which these "flowing light-fountains" unlock the heroic potential of ordinary human beings. 410 0$aRethinking the Western tradition. 606 $aHeroes 606 $aHero worship 615 0$aHeroes. 615 0$aHero worship. 676 $a824/.8 700 $aCarlyle$b Thomas$f1795-1881,$0153333 702 $aSorensen$b David R.$f1953- 702 $aKinser$b Brent E. 702 $aAtwood$b Sarah 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792206703321 996 $aOn heroes, hero worship and the heroic in history$9151567 997 $aUNINA
