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.In eight volumes, The Strouse Edition will provide the texts of Carlyle's major works edited for the first time to contemporary scholarly standards. For the general reader, its detailed introductions and annotations will offer insight into the author's thought and a reconstruction of the diverse and often arcane Carlylean sources. 410 4$aThe Norman and Charlotte Strouse Edition of the Writings of Thomas Carlyle 517 3 $aOn heroes, hero-worship, and the heroic in history 606 $aHeroes 606 $aHero worship 610 $a19th century. 610 $aambition. 610 $abiography. 610 $abritish literature. 610 $aclassics. 610 $aconservatism. 610 $adante. 610 $aenglish history. 610 $aenglish literature. 610 $aessays. 610 $agreat britain. 610 $agreat men. 610 $agreat works. 610 $ahero worship. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindividualism. 610 $aleadership. 610 $alegacy. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterature. 610 $aluther. 610 $amuhammed. 610 $anapoleon. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aphilosophy. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $aprofile. 610 $apsychology. 610 $arole models. 610 $asocial commentary. 610 $asuccess. 610 $avictorian culture. 610 $avictorian manhood. 610 $avictorian masculinity. 610 $avictorian prose. 610 $avictorian. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aHeroes. 615 0$aHero worship. 676 $a824/.8 700 $aCarlyle$b Thomas$f1795-1881.$0153333 701 $aGoldberg$b M.
