Thomas Carlyle's Divinity A man whom many Victorians called the worthiest to be listened to of all produced by their shared era, Thomas Carlyle was a Scotch Hero whose work began during the reign of William IV and ended near the fading of Victoria's. Chiefly regarded in these latter-days of ours as the biographer of the epoch called the French Revolution, Carlyle was in his own age regarded as one of the chief philosophers of Victorian England and the chief reactionary one, esteemed or hated but unknown by none. I write this brief pamphlet because Carlyle was a Hero as Man of Letters who, like all others, has faded off somewhere, having been drowned by this age of ours, which does not possess any excess of intellect. It shall be well to present Carlyle's sayings on Divine matters, and too concerning a few philosophical ones, as they are much finer than almost any produced since the end of his literary reign. T.
