Twelve Lectures on the History of Western Literature
by Q
About This Novel
This book is the transcript of twelve lectures on Western literature delivered by the famous British critic and historian Thomas Carlyle in London. Thomas Carlyle had a profound and unique understanding and summary of the characteristics of every era, the character of every nation, and the character of every writer. Such as the cheerfulness of the Greeks, the practicality of the Romans, the faith and loyalty of the Middle Ages, the humor of Cervantes, the nobility of Dante's soul and the breadth of his soul, etc. What runs through the entire speech is the great personality charm of the literary masters: strong, optimistic, frank, humorous, humble, persistent, pursuing the truth, and full of love for mankind. Their works are "the whispers of the great soul of nature and the sincere revelation of the human soul."
