Publisher's Synopsis
""Personal Recollections of Carlyle"" is a book written by Henry James, in which he shares his personal experiences and memories of the famous Scottish philosopher and writer, Thomas Carlyle. James, who was a close friend of Carlyle, provides an intimate and detailed account of Carlyle's life, work, and personality. The book is divided into several chapters, each one focusing on a different aspect of Carlyle's life, including his childhood, his education, his literary career, and his personal relationships. James also includes anecdotes and stories that shed light on Carlyle's character and his interactions with friends and acquaintances. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the most important figures of the Victorian era, as seen through the eyes of a close friend and admirer.To think of our head men believin' the stomach to be the man, and legislatin' for the stomach, and compellin' this old England into the downright vassalage of the stomach! Such men as these, forsooth, to rule England, the England once ruled by Oliver Cromwell! No wonder the impudent knave O'Connell takes them by the beard, shakes his big fist in their faces, does his own dirty will, in fact, with England, altogether! Oh for a day of Duke William again!'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
