Thomas Carlyle's Practice as Historian: Three Unpublished Letters

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the preface to the second edition of his Oliver Cromwell&apos;s Letters and Speeches (1846), the great Victorian litterateur Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) announced the inclusion of multiple new letters by Cromwell. He then added: &apos;Not to say, that your Set of Cromwell Letters can ever, in this Second or in any other Edition, be considered as complete; an uncounted handful of needles to be picked from an unmeasured continent of hay, - how can you ever assure yourself that you have them all?&apos;. Indeed, these words might just as well be applied to Carlyle himself. Despite fifty years of assiduous efforts by the successive editors of The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle (1970-), new Carlyle letters continue to come to light. The following three letters from the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections of the University of South Carolina are hitherto unpublished and reveal Carlyle at work on all three of his major histories, The French Revolution (1837), Oliver Cromwell&apos;s Letters and Speeches (1845), and Frederick the Great (1858-65). Together, they serve as a reminder that Carlyle was no &apos;prophet&apos; or &apos;sage&apos; (such as he often styled himself), but was rather, like any other historian, dependent upon his sources, on previous scholarship, and, perhaps above all, on the kindness of strangers.
