Thomas Carlyle, Friedrich von Gentz, and the Writing of the "Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question"
Original language description
As is well-known, the great Victorian man of letters Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) began his literary career as a Germanist. Through works such as his translations of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1824) and Wilhelm Meister's Travels (1825), his book-length Life of Friedrich Schiller (1825), his collection of translations from German Romance (1827), and his numerous essays, Carlyle served as an important conduit for German literature and philosophy into Britain. Although these early works have been studied in depth by several scholars, theyhave tended to break off their accounts with the publication of Carlyle's Sartor Resartus (1833/34), supposedly the culmination of his early Germanism. On the other hand, Carlyle's last major work, Frederick the Great (1858-65), has also received substantial scholarly attention. The effect has been to leave largely obscure Carlyle's engagement with German letters during the intervening period.One exception has been Carlyle's longstanding correspondence with the German biographer, diarist, and literary critic Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (1785-1858), which began in 1837 and continued until Varnhagen's death. A newly discovered letter from Carlyle to Gustav Schlesier (1810-81), a protégé of Varnhagen and the editor of the collected works of the German statesman, diplomat, and anti-revolutionary publicist Friedrich von Gentz (1764-1832), sheds new light on Carlyle's role within Varnhagen's Anglo-German literary network, as wellas highlighting Carlyle's surprising agreement with Gentz on colonial affairs, never previously explored by scholars.
