Description:Excerpt from Thomas Carlyle: As a Critic of Literature The present study was begun some four years ago at the suggestion of Professor W. P. Trent and of the late Professor George R. Carpenter. It was thought that an account of Carlyle as a critic of literature would be of value, not only as an appreciation of a great personality on a different side from that usually considered, but also as a contribution to the history of literary criticism in England. In this belief, and with these ends in view, the following chapters have been written. The new interpretation in the first chapter of Carlyle's so-called conversion has not been made without a searching examination of the published biographical material, and with the sole purpose of setting the facts in their right relations. To the English department of Columbia University under whose direction I have worked my obligations are many. It is a pleasure to record my gratefulness to Professor Trent, whose criticism and encouragement have been constant and helpful. My thanks are also due to Professor Brander Matthews and to Professor W. A. Neilson, formerly of Columbia, now of Harvard University, for stimulating suggestions. To Professor A. H. Thorndike, who went over the entire work in manuscript with me, I am especially indebted for much valuable criticism. I am grateful also to Professor J. W. Cunliffe, and to Associate Professor H. B. Lathrop, of the English department of the University of Wisconsin, for kindly interest and counsel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
