Abstract

This 1841 volume collects six of Carlyle's lectures on heroes, which offered a damning critique of the rising faceless corporatism and the denigration of the individual that the Industrial Revolution was promoting. Honoring the power of great men to change history, Carlyle discusses: -The hero as divinity: Odin, Paganism, and Scandinavian mythology-The hero as prophet: Mahomet and Islam-The hero as poet: Dante and Shakespeare-The hero as priest: Luther, Reformation by Knox, and Puritanism-The hero as man of letters: Johnson, Rousseau, and Burns-The hero as king: Cromwell, Napoleon, and modern revolutionism

Abstract

From tales of chivalrous knights to the barbarity of trial by ordeal, no era has been a greater source of awe, horror, and wonder than the Middle Ages. In handsomely crafted prose, and with the grace and authority of his extraordinary gift for narrative history, William Manchester leads us from a civilization tottering on the brink of collapse to the grandeur of its rebirth: the dense explosion of energy that spawned some of history's greatest poets, philosophers, painters, adventurers, and reformers, as well as some of its most spectacular villains.(https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/william-manchester/a-world-lit-only-by-fire/9780316545310/)
