Summary "Thomas Carlyle" by Hector Macpherson is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. This book explores the life and work of Thomas Carlyle, placing particular emphasis on his early life, influences, and literary contributions. It aims to provide insights into Carlyle's thoughts, as well as his role as a significant figure in literature and philosophy, particularly in the context of German thought. The opening of the book introduces Thomas Carlyle's early life, discussing his family background, education, and early intellectual influences. It highlights his relationship with his parents, particularly the impact of his mother’s nurturing juxtaposed against his father’s sternness. Carlyle’s formative years at school, his struggles with academic institutions, and his shift away from the ministry towards a literary career are detailed.
