About Thomas Carlyle
Scottish
historian Thomas Carlyle is best known for his biographies of Frederick
the Great and the German playwright Schiller. He was born in 1795. The
first draft of his acclaimed two-volume work, The French Revolution,
was accidentally burned by his friend John Stuart Mill’s maid; he
rewrote it from scratch and imbued the rewrite with more passion and
immediacy than was common at the time. This made his writing very
popular in Victorian England. He died in 1881.
