Title: On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History Author: Thomas Carlyle Narrator: James Gillies Format: mp3 Length: 11 hrs and 16 mins Release date: 12-10-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 23 ratings Genres: Ethics & Morality Publisher's Summary: Though uncompromising, polemical and argumentative, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) made a lasting impact on 19th-century culture as a multi-talented man of letters. And though his lengthy history of the French Revolution proved his major scholarly legacy, On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History remains perhaps his most popular and accessible work. It presented his deep-seated belief that ‘Universal History, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here’.
