Definition

  • Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) was a Scottish writer and historian who critiqued modern democracy and industrialization. Raised in the Calvinist tradition, Carlyle eventually rejected the Christian faith but nevertheless focused his work on the spiritual and human natures and their value over the economic and practical forces emerging in Victorian London.
